Short Term Courses

The vocational training provided at the Institute is skill oriented. Under CTS, the practical content of the training is about 66%. Under ATS, the practical content is about 85 to 88%. The trainees are provided hands on experience in Industry also.

As the job opportunities in the Govt. sector have shrunk and the employment opportunities in the Industry are also not keeping pace with the need of the job seeks, it is of utmost necessary that self employment opportunities be made available to the pass outs of the Institute and also other willing candidates of the rural areas. The main reason is that in the main stay of the rural economy, that is Agriculture, the capacity to absorb the youth by providing remunerative employment at the previous levels has drastically reduced.

(I) REDP OF NABARD :- Rural Entrepreneurship Development Programme (REDP) of National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development is such a scheme which very beautifully fills the slot as it caters to that section of the society which is in the dire need of some self employment in the secondary and tertiary sector.

SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAINING PROGRAM

Govt. Industrial Training Institute, Patiala proposes to provide training on various manufacturing practices to the rural un-employed youth of Punjab State at its Workshop/Labs. The Institute, besides its normal responsibilities of imparting specialized knowledge and practical training to regular students, is also organizing large number of skill development programme. There is no doubt in our mind that we have the necessary infrastructure and facilities to impart state of art training and help in nation building.

During our discussions with NABARD it was suggested that they look forward to working on an increased number of programs with Govt. I.T.I., Patiala in the coming years. We have also discussed this in details with Mr. J.P.S Bindra, AGM Patiala district who is also very keen that cooperation between Got. I.T.I. Patiala and NABARD expand. As per the information provided by and discussion with the office of NABARD, the project proposal of REDP for new programs for the year 2006-07 is given below.

DUTIES OF THE HOST (GITI) COORDINATOR

The Govt. I.T.I. Patiala coordinator represents the host institute and is a faculty appointment. The Principal of the host institute has appointed the host coordinator. The NABARD representatives will deal with him about issues related to the implementation of the programmers. He is the contact person at the host institute for most of the issues. The Govt. I.T.I., Patiala coordinator is an employee of Punjab Govt. of the host institute. The coordinator will ensure that the host institute is ready to host the proposed programme and that the schedule is followed.

TRAINING PROGRAM DETAILS

The trainees will participate in lectures and labs on the subject matter. The lectures will be designed to give trainees a basic working knowledge of each of the topics, while still expanding beyond the bare fundamentals. The labs/workshop will give them an opportunity to apply their knowledge, often within less than a day of learning the concept. This opportunity to use the knowledge instantly will aid the learning process greatly, ensuring that the lessons are retained longer and more completely. 

SOME KEY FEATURES OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM

Each Trainee will be given separate job to manufacture while he is imparted training in each shop. The trainees will be required to work on their own on machines after imparting training and make specific jobs. All trainees will be evaluated through a series of job tests as a measure of their learning's from the training program. Mid-term feedback collection and reviews will be carried out and changes will be incorporated as needed from time to time.

Welding

Introduction

      Welding as it is normally understood today is comparatively a new comer amongst the fabrication process, though practice of joining metal pieces was practiced even before Christ. Though there are a number of well established welding processes but arc welding with coated electrodes is still the most popular welding process the world over.

Arc Welding in its present form appeared on the industrial scene in 1880's. However, the demand for large scale production of heavy items like ships, pressure vessels, construction of bridges and the like provided the necessary impetus for welding to come of age and the Second World War firmly established it as the major fabrication process.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES:

      The pass outs of this program have ample scope for self employment, as there is sufficient market demand for trained & skilled technicians in Gas & Arc Welding. They can also get waged employment as welder in private and government sector industries, Research & Development Organization, Defense Sector, I.T.I.'s & Vocational Training Institutes etc.

(II)  Short Term Courses under IRG Scheme

Starting of new short term courses in collaboration with Private Agencies/ Service Providers.

            Due to fast changes in the technology and variety of services required by the market, the short term courses (of 1 week  to 8 weeks) have become an absolute necessity. For starting these courses the staff, equipment and building is needed. Generally building is available which can be used or offered specially after working hours or on off days. In some cases, equipment and staff can also be used. But in some cases staff trained on latest technology or software is not available and in some cases the latest equipment is also not available. So the three models which can be followed for this purpose are

i)          Institute will offer only building, the equipment, faculty and software is to be provided by the private/ other govt. organizations.

                        For the starting of these courses the user charges are recommended to be levied as per local circumstances by signing on agreement by the Head of Institute and Private Agency/ other Govt. agency. The sharing of user charges levied is recommended to be as follows: -

            i)          Institute                         35%     (out of this35 %,  10% will go to Govt.

treasury, 20% to staff, 70% to institute after meeting the recurring expenditure)

  ii)         Service provider                65%    

ii)         The building and equipment is to be provided by the Institute and faculty and software by the Service provider.

            Here also the user charges are to be levied as per the local circumstances by signing an agreement with service provider by HOI. The sharing pattern recommended is as follows:

iii)        The building, equipment and faculty are to be provided by the Institute, some technical know how and support certification etc. is to be provided by service provider.

            Here also the user charges are to be levied as per the local circumstances by signing an agreement with service provider by HOI. The sharing pattern recommended is as follows:

The rates at which the services/ consultancy are to be offered may be determined keeping in view the market rates, circumstances/ conditions of local areas and quality of services/consultancy offered.

            The institutes will run the courses for the persons holding the Certificate of the courses run by them as regular courses to avoid over lapping of effort. However where ever the facilities for the Certificate holders are not available in the respective institutes of the area, the ITI can offer short term courses to the students of higher or lower level also. Here the Institutes through Head Quarter may take the consent of the Apex bodies of the State.

            The certificates to be issued on the completion of these courses should be recognized at least in the State of Punjab and should be duly rewarded in the career growth of the prospective certificate holder by Industry/Service Sector/ Market. The State level bodies like SCVT/PSBTE&IT/PTU should approve this in principle and authorize the institutes to issue the certificates in their behalf with facsimile signature of one of the officer bearer of these bodies, which may be designated for this purpose.
