The On-Job Training (OJT)/Internship is an essential component of NSQF based Vocational Education where a student is expected to undergo On-job training during vacations for at least 80 hours in a job role. There is also a growth in support from local entrepreneurs and business establishments who are willingly taking our students as interns in their respective area of specialisation.
It gives the students a first-hand experience of working in a real-life work environment. Thus, providing an opportunity to apply their acquired skills and theoretical knowledge from the classroom to practical experience in the professional ecosystem, gain an understanding of the sector, career prospects and responsibilities, ability to make informed career decisions to help student develop and improve soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem solving etc to help students develop an entrepreneurial mindset.
