Boeing, Tata Advanced Materials limited (TAMl) and Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) have announced the launch of a skills development programme to train front-line workers for the aerospace industry. The first batch of students was inducted at a ceremony in TAMl’s Bengaluru facility.
Sponsored by Boeing and conducted by NTTF, the ‘learn and Earn’ programme offers students a three-year diploma in Aerospace Manufacturing Technology (advanced composites), rolled out under the National Employability Enhancement Mission. The programme involves classroom sessions on fundamental theory, behavioural skills training and vocational training in manufacturing skills at TAMl. This initiative is by Boeing, with training provided by NTTF, a partner of the National Skills Development Corporation.
The programme is aimed at enhancing the employability of students and bridging the gap of skilled manpower in the aerospace sector. Students from the Science stream in Class XII will be eligible. The NTTF will conduct an eight-week induction programme to make the students industry-ready for their job training. The batch will then be placed at TAMl for training in their manufacturing facilities. Trainees who complete the programme will be awarded a three-year Diploma in Aerospace Manufacturing Technology (advanced composites) certificate by NTTF.
