The vocational course under Craftsman Training Scheme project will have an intake capacity of 105 students in three classes
Maharashtra government has given its go-ahead for the Dassault Aviation, manufacturer of Rafale jets, to start Aeronautical Structure and Equipment Fitter course for three academic years from August 2019 to July 2022 at the Government Industrial Training Institute (GITI) in Nagpur. The vocational course under Craftsman Training Scheme project will have an intake capacity of 105 students in three classes.
The course will be conducted on a self-financing project by Dassault Aviation, which has created the Dassault Skill Academy, will supply necessary equipment, raw material and qualified human resource. The state government issued notification on August 23 to pave way for the implementation of an MoU signed between the Dassault Aviation and the Union Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. The state government will make available classes in GITI at Nagpur without disturbing the existing courses there. Initially, two classes will start operational this month. The state director of vocational education and training will sign MoU with Dassault Skill Academy to run the course under its corporate social responsibility. Nagpur has been chosen as the Dassault-Reliance facility is located there and the company has already kick-started production in February this year with the delivery of major components for the Falcon 2000 LX executive jets that are currently being assembled in France. The facility is assembling the cockpit and fuel tank parts for the popular executive jets.
As per the government notification, the project aims at creating and nurturing a ‘best-in-class’ pool of Indian talents from the public education system, for the benefit of the entire aerospace industrial ecosystem in India toward self-reliance in the design, development and production of aeronautical equipment and platforms. The necessary skill set will be made available in the aviation sector.
The admissions in the vocational course are being given through a central online system and fees will be charged similar to other courses being run in the ITI under the private-public-partnership. The government will not provide any financial assistance as the expenses will be incurred through fees recovered from the students.
The state director, vocational education and training will submit a report after three academic years to the state government which will take a call for the continuation of the project.
