Lucknow, Oct 8 (KNN) With the new ITI Promotion and Placement Policy 2022 in place,the Uttar Pradesh government is gearing up to develop the existing industrial training institutes (ITIs) as a one-stop solution wherein students will get training in courses designed especially for the job market.

The students will also get employment and self-employment opportunities under one roof.

Apart from connecting state ITIs with industries, private sector skill development centres will also be made more useful for the youth by helping them meet the needs of the current era, according to a government press release.

As per reports, the state government claims that it has provided training and employment to more than 10 lakh youth through the Skill Development Mission alone in the first term of the Yogi government.

There is a provision for on-job training in the new policy under which those who are already doing jobs will get an opportunity to hone their skills further at the institute. The government will identify different industries and establishments and sign deals with them in this regard.

The revamped ITIs will provide short-term skill development training to school dropouts and women so that they can be re-skilled and up-skilled.  (KNN Bureau)
