IITM Pravartak Tech & SWAYAM Plus Launch Semiconductor Industry Training, SiliconIndia

Team siliconindia

IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation joins hands with the SWAYAM Plus initiative of Union Education Ministry to introduce this new training program in semiconductor. The skill-based course is open to students as well as engineering and science graduates in streams such as Electronics, Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, and Production.
In fact, short-term programme will be conducted face to face at IIT Madras focusing on semiconductor industry. Candidates get placements support if they get a good grade hence practically hands-on preparation from them towards their respective job functions in the field.
The program aims to inspire students and industry partners to pursue careers in electronics and tackle challenging scientific problems relevant to societal needs and sustainable growth. It is proposed to provide hands-on training accompanied by background theory on the subject delivered by experts from IIT Madras.
SWAYAM Plus is a joint initiative by the Ministry of Education, Government of India and IIT Madras, launched in line with National Education Policy’s focus on promoting and encouraging employability-focused, skilling courses. It aims to build employable skills among graduates across sectors critical to India’s growth. The aim is also to align industry skills with academic courses, thereby bridging the gap, the release said.
R. Sarathi, Dean (Planning), IIT Madras, said the training program aims to bridge the gap between idealised concepts learnt from the foundational courses in engineering and the real world. “Our experience indicates that there is a need to strengthen the skills needed in general engineering and to build an intuition in relation to that. The contents of the training program for engineering students are identified through the skill gap between engineering curriculum and practising engineer,” he said in the release.
The participation certificate will be issued by SWAYAM Plus in association with IIT Madras and IITM Pravartak. Accommodation will be offered at IIT Madras campus at a basic cost of ₹650 per day per student, which includes food and stay.
Among such short courses, it may include Comprehensive Electronics and Embedded Systems, Comprehensive Electronics with Advanced Embedded Technology and IoT, Advanced Electronic Manufacturing focused on Power Electronics Fundamentals, and Digital Manufacturing Practices.
