BEST PRACTICES FOR SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Centre for Skill & Entrepreneurship Development
Suryodaya College of Engineering & Technology is starting Centre for Skill & Entrepreneurship Development (CSED) tentatively from the month of September 2020.
The objective is to impart industry skills related to industry 4.0 so that the students become employable and also to provide a platform to incubate the ideas to a commercial product. This centre will impart skills in two domains viz. Smart Manufacturing & Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
CSED is Industry inside an Institute. Major technology giants like Dassault Systems, PTC & MasterCAM are our technology provider of CSED. Dysmech Competency Services (DCS) is the system integrator. This is the first of its kind skill & entrepreneurship development centre in Maharashtra wherein students will be imparted project based learning on live industry project. CSED will act as “Experience Centre” to make the students industry ready and employable. It will take students to the level, wherein they will choose entrepreneurship as a first option to be a job giver than a job seeker. Students will be trained on the technology used by the industry using latest software, hardware industry size equipment and machineries.
CSED will act as a experience centre for the students. After getting trained at CSED, student will be no longer considered as a fresher. CSED students will be ready to work on project from day 1 of joining an industry.
The major focus of the CSED is to create entrepreneurs, who will serve as backbone for creating employability. CSED will have a incubation centre equipped with all the software/hardware and industry size equipment/machinery to do the hand holding of the students from idea to a commercial product.
In this era of knowledge based economy, quality of workforce is more important than the quantity. Industries needs experience workforce as they see fresher as liability rather than an asset. The challenge is not with the knowledge possessed by the students but on how to apply the knowledge to a particular situation. Also, the current skill infrastructure and institute are merely training centres rebranded as skill centres imparting only knowledge. The current incubation infrastructures are merely space providers, wherein there is lack of mentoring and experience of running business.
Also, the syllabuses of universities do cover only the concepts and fundamental to impart domain knowledge to the students. The syllabus is not regularly updated to meet the requirements of the industry. Industries shave to spend lot on training after recruiting a fresher. There is now a huge gap between the students’ skill & knowledge and expectations of the industries.
CSED will play a major role to bridge the gap between the institute and industry. Students will industry ready with an experience of 1 to 2 years as they will work on th industrial problem statements. They will have a practical domain expertise. CSED will provide platforms for publication, patents and industry sponsored project. CSED will invite its recruitment partners through its system integrator DCS for placement of students. Industries will get the pool of required talent at one place saving their cost of recruitment and training too. CSED will organise round the year online and offline internship programs to upgrade the skills. CSED will also provide assistance for post-graduation.
The incubation centre of CSED will provide incubation for start-ups. It will provide experience on live projects before starting a journey of entrepreneurship. CSED will provide complete eco-system i.e. office space, technology and equipment for start-up. It will provide clear direction and go to market strategy. It will provide the technical and business skill required to be a sustainable entrepreneur. CSED will provide all the expert consultancy during the journey of entrepreneurship.
CSED will undertake consultancy work with the help of its system integrator and technology providers. It will help to help to strengthen the R & D activities of the institutes of the region and will act as an R & D bed for the industries. It will help to empower the faculties of Suryodaya and nearby institutes to become industrial consultants.
CSED will act as a catalyst to enhance employability opportunity and empower young youths to become entrepreneurs and will act as a strong linkage between industry – Institute.
