Vocational Training and Core Skills

In early days we didn’t have so many professions open in the market.

While each profession was in practice, but not in commercial manner. In this era every Service is being commercialized.

One, who is capable of performing some kind of service, is able to survive." Survival of the fittest" is the open secret of today’s advance or modern society. Second ,who performs in competitive atmosphere, will only survive.

In one way, we are members of advanced society, slavery has been erased from the universe, but our society has become slave of commercial era. 

In this era, one who possesses skill of even one single trade will survive without getting a severe punch of slavery, otherwise he will become burden on the modern society and only God will help him. But the fact is GOD never helps, God preaches to learn and act.

Here the Vocational Trade Training comes in the society to enable everyone to secure one or the other trade's Core skills. 

Vocational Trade Training rescues the humankind from falling back in the trap of old timers slavery tradition.

Vocational Trade Training is becoming very popular, but it has to be effective in transformation of the trainees such that the trainee could render specific service in a professional manner.

In spite of numerous VTCs ( Vocational Trade Training Center) coming up around our country and globe as a whole, the clients are not getting the satisfaction they want from the services.

A detailed survey and analysis of the situation reveals that something, as important as salt in food, is missing from the Vocational Training.

I switched over myself from Engineering Management practitioner to a trainer and transformer such that the clients of the trainees feel the taste for which they hired the trainees. Each of my trainees is under my focus & observations. His behavior is observed so as to train and enable him to transform himself to a practicing professional.

In general it is observed that their common sense and desire to render service has been buried deep in the bottom layers of their conscience. They get mislead that only Vocational Trade Training will enable them to earn with and  get disappointed after getting training certification, when they don’t get some job.

They forget that they too possess common sense. This forgetfulness doesn’t allow them to be a Professionally Skilled Person.

This problem could be overcome if experienced & practicing professionals are encouraged and motivated to come forward and adapt trainer profession for tomorrow’s  happy world.

Vocational Trade Training and Employability Skills to Engineering Students

Vocational Trade Training to Engineering students ( Graduate/Diploma)is a part of Employability Skills set. 

Vocational training is the pathway to the multi Occupation lanes leading to Successful Growth in Industrial Sector.

Before we discuss about Vocational Trade Training, let us try to understand the current era of science and technologies.

This era is devoted to create, develop , popularize new technologies in day to day life. Computers; Electronics & Communication; Automation; supported by new innovations every other day . Basic machines will remain basic. But they will be fitted with a number of interwoven accessories. 

The society is full of several non engineering professions, some of them are listed as medical, domestic appliances, Law, journalism, political, teaching,farming, food , entertainment and lot many more. Each part of life is accessorized with sophisticated, accurate and complicated state of the art technologies. These professionals neither have knowledge and nor time to attend to them. But these non engineering professionals , students, old , handicapped and even non school going Children have become habitual to the level of addiction of using these technologies in day to day and  hour to hour life.

Vocational Training provides opportunities to begin practicing basic core profession based on hobby, education, needs of a person, society and nation and humanity as a whole.  

Now we discuss the need of vocational trade training to engineering students of different trades. We have to first understand human psychology and the God gifted computer the brain of human being.

Human psychology, a normal human is fond of using, but afraid of disassemble and maintain or trouble shoot or repair the gadgets being used by him. For this purpose they need some one who is authorized and confident of performing on the job on a particular gadget or machine or equipment.

Vocational Trade Training institutes or schools train persons on one or more than one trades to a person.

Basic minimum qualification of the vocational trainee is as per the local governments rules and laws of the land.

During vocational training, the trainees are exposed to hands on experience with relevant tools, instruments etc on the specific engineering product they are taking training.

But in actual life their work is not limited to only the product they are trained with. Vocational Training opens their gates to world of engineering products. They start practicing and understanding more and more similar products.

But let us be clear and understand that only basic core skills don’t make one a skilled trade technician or engineer or supervisor. One should have skills-set. Skills set is combination of core skills + soft skills+ communication skills+ personality.

Education and Employability Training

One is considered to be Employable, if he fulfills following conditions:

01.Basic Knowledge level of the core education. This acts as body of an automobile,

02.Basic extra Certificate courses ,additional to the education like that of an automobile’s accessories.

03.Attitude, self initiative and Eagerness to perform and learn,similar to fuel of the automobile,

04.Training to the Individual with soft skills, and how to use the knowledge to perform tasks, this is similar to using different types of tyres, wheel covers, tyre inflation as per the road and load,tuning of brakes & lights,adjusting seats & mirrors and so on.

A vehicle/automobile owner seldomly puts a brand new & basic vehicle on road to ensure safety and Higher performance.

Similarly an Industry ensures all above traits in Just pass Graduate to ensure safety and performance.

It is seen and experienced that some of the Colleges and Academicians don’t like Training. They take Training as scar mark.They should take care of point 1 as above such that the fresh graduates are strong in academics. Colleges ‘s role is limited to 1 above, however if they can contribute on 2,3 and 4 above either directly or from out side their students will be employed in Core Sector accordingly.

In my opinion Training or addition of 2,3 &4 above from out side other than the college which secures them them Employment should be a matter of Joy to them today and tomorrow in long run.

Wishing all the best to Upcoming Aspiring Engineers.

Competitiveness and sustainability of Core Sector Industries

Among Core Sector Industries the issue of sustainability is very important. Quality, productivity, profits, Competitiveness of a or many products of any industry are closely related to each other.If one characteristic is dented, all others get adverse impact. These are the key factors which contribute directly to branding and sustainability of industries.

Higher the Quality standards, lesser the wastage of different nature, some of the inherent wastage due to Quality rejection are: 

raw material, the wastage incurs huge loss directly on raw material cost and many other evils like pilferage; house keeping of working area;dislocation of raw material procurement planning;delays in delivery of products;engagement of extra manpower; excessive energy consumption;excessive tools consumption; extra wear and tear of Plant and Machinery grow automatically. Pilferage and engagement of extra manpower are nuisance issues which lead to slow death of Industry and the reasons won’t be visible easily.

This list speak about the factors which compound the fall of overall productivity and therefore profits and subsequently competitiveness, branding and sustainability of the industries.

Industries should consider and use management tools to implement Quality Assurance and Quality Control in their Industries irrespective of it’s size.

Enhancement of Productivity-Profitablity through Corporate training to Shop Floor level Engineers/Supervisors/Technicians

All most all Industries have following layers who contribute to the sustainability & growth of the Industry.

1. Board of Directors or the proprietor or the partners,

2. Senior Management level,

3. Middle Management level,

4. Engineers,Supervisors at Shop floor level and 

5. Shop Floor Technicians and work force.

In some industries depending on the size, levels 1, 2 & 3 are designed & crafted differently which suit to them. But level 4 & 5 exist in all most all industries.

The team members of layers 1,2,&3 often get some sort of Corporate Training, they also find time to revisit their past and review and take necessary corrective actions.

Human Resource at level 4&5 do not get Corporate Training or Refresher Training and as such this majority of Human Resource remains 

under-utilised.

This under utilised part of Energy of HR at level 4 & 5 can be converted to Profits through Corporate Training on following Topics:-

01. Corporate Culture, it is experienced that the group leader/ senior technicians, supervisors and Shop floor engineers are expert in their core job, but they are not able to deliver what they can due to lack of Corporate Communication & Culture.

02. Safety,health and environmental ( SHE ) training.

03. Maintenance including Troubleshooting and Reliability of Plant and Machinery.

04. Quality Assurance and Quality Control related tools like 5S, Lean Management, Implementation and internal audit of ISO.

05. Stores & purchase and inventory management.

06.Energy & Lubricant saving.

And any other specific area as per the observations and experience of management.

You may consider to take advantage of this important facilities from us and strengthen the Corporate Productivity Performance.

Just Fresh Qualified Engineering Youth

National Statistics reads that only 7 to15% Engineers are Employable.

I, being an experienced engineering professional now dedicated mentor and trainer to qualified engineers for their transformation to Employable Engineers and Budding Engineering Professionals, want to bring to the notice of all Industries that they should be hopeful from Before hand Trained Engineers, and to face the coming challenges of competitive markets Industries should consider recruitment of more and more qualified and before hand trained engineers. 

More than 70 Industries on PAN India basis have availed this Service from us on repeat basis by recruiting more than 400 Qualified & Before Hand Trained Engineers from VSIPL, Bhopal.

 

Fresh Engineers trying to get placed in Core Sector should not be disappointed, lots of jobs are available but for matching and Industry Ready Engineers ( Before Hand Trained).

Experienced professionals from Industry take care of the Transformation process such that Engineers get placed in Core Sector after completing their transformation training process.

More and more qualified engineers in industries means higher productivity and profits.
