The objective of the training programme is to boost the skills of various technical staff working across ISRO centres and units under the space department. The location of the training will be the National Skill Training Institutes (NSTI) under MSDE located across India.
ISRO will jointly work with MSDE and NSTI to prepare a detailed training calendar, training curriculum, and syllabus to accomplish the larger objectives of the programme. ISRO will provide trainee kits to the trainees. The ministry will also arrange labs, workshops, classrooms, specimens, and other training facilities to effectively carry out the programme at identified NSTI in consultation with Capacity Building Programme Office (CBPO).
“With the help of MSDE and its state-of-the-art training institutes across the country, the programme will impart training in specific disciplines to upgrade employees’ skillsets as per the latest industry trends and requirements,” said MSDE.
“With the advent of technology and the world moving towards digitization, it is imperative that we upskill our technical staff across sectors. The upskilling of tech experts at ISRO is a step in that direction. ISRO has been a game-changer when it comes to redefining the space domain at large over the last ten years. These training programmes will enable technical personnel to embrace and augment cutting-edge technology, thereby elevating India’s standing in the space domain. We look forward to contributing to their success as they chalk a new future of the space for India,” Rajesh Aggarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said.
