A group of 40 students selected from the 2022-23 batch of World Skill Center (WSC), Bhubaneswar have returned back to the State after completing a 2-week Student Exchange Programme at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), Singapore, on Tuesday.
The students gained valuable skills on subjects like drone technology and robotics. They learnt the finer aspects of coding and management in drones and robotics. They explored the state- of -the- art Science Center at Singapore and its various modern technological exhibits. They interacted with the instructors there to have an understanding of the exhibits present at the center.
Chairperson, Odisha Skill Development Authority (OSDA) and CEO WSC Alka Misra congratulated the students on their return. The new experience would surely enhance their knowledge and skills and help them dream of a global career, she said.
“I want to make a career in robotics. As part of our course in ‘Mechatronics’ at WSC, Bhubaneswar, we are given advanced skills in robotics. Coming to Singapore and learning more about the subject here has definitely broadened the horizon for me. This will be especially helpful for me in my future endeavour,” said student Roshni Sahu.
“It was my first time travelling abroad which was a wonderful experience. We learnt more about drone technology in Singapore. We were given hands-on training in operating drones too. I also got to explore various other destinations in Singapore,” said B Sandeep Patra, another exchange student.
