DesignTech Systems has signed an MoU with IASC (Instrumentation Automation Surveillance and Communication) sector skill council – a not for profit organisation under Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Government of India to provide advanced skills based training certifications to qualified trained personnel. The objective behind inking this MoU is to facilitate and encourage the aspiring and ambitious youngsters to acquire specialised technical skills based certifications and accreditations from an esteemed government institution, IASC, founded by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship under their premier Skill India initiative. Industry recognised and respected accreditation from IASC would certainly open up various quality employment opportunities for the certified job aspirants.

As an assessment partner and associate for IASC, DesignTech, under the terms of MoU, will create awareness about and promote these certification courses at the existing State Funded Centres of Excellence managed and operated by DesignTech Systems. In accordance to the agreements entered into with various State Governments such as Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Jharkhand, DesignTech Systems has established and is executing trainings on latest and most advanced technologies in electro-mechanical field at more than 25 Siemens Centres of Excellence across various cities in these states. With all the centres put together, cumulatively more than 1 lakh students have benefited from these trainings.

Explaining more about this MoU, Vikas Khanvelkar, Chairman and Managing Director, DesignTech Systems Ltd exclaimed, “Government of India with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship are introducing new initiatives and promising programs to elevate and enhance the quality of education and skills based trainings in India. Lack of industry ready and employable manpower can regress Industry’s pace of growth, bear detrimental impact on the national GDP, while also increasing unemployment rate in the country. Applications based knowledge of contemporary technologies acquired through Centres of Excellence, and in addition, being certified by the industry recognised Government Body, IASC would certainly add value to students’ educational credentials that will earn them greater preference in securing a good job. DesignTech will help emphasise the importance of certification at all the Centres of Excellence managed and operated by us.”
