Training Counseling and Placement Cell (TCPC)

Objective

• Ensure employment/self-employment and apprenticeship training to trainees.
• Skill gap mapping & providing skill gap training to make trainees employable.

The objective of the DST scheme is to enable industries and establishments to partner with Government and Private ITIs for conducting training programmes under high employability courses so as to fulfil their skilled manpower requirements. The DST is an amalgamation of theoretical training imparted through ITIs and practical training imparted through the Industry. DST helps enable Industry linkages and provide hands-on experience to students on industries latest/updated technologies.

Under the DST scheme, the courses are conducted to meet the skilled workforce requirements of Industry so that after completion of training, the trainees who are awarded National Trade Certificate (NTC) under the scheme have an edge over regular ITI pass outs in terms of employability and employment opportunities in Industry. With the vision of strengthening Industry linkages and acquainting students in ITIs with the latest technologies used in the Industry, DGT encourages ITIs to participate in the DST program so that these ITI trainees are Industry ready.
