Transforming lives through Skill Development
Skill development and vocational training have come to the fore quite prominently in the recent past with the Government’s increased focus and impetus given on these aspects with the objective of channelizing the massive potential that is locked away in our country’s youth. However, Late Yadupati Singhania ji, Founder MD, JK Cement Ltd., had an unequivocal conviction and vision since over three decades, that the youth of our country holds the key to a brighter future; and education and skill development are the pillars of Nation building. Inspired by his vision and dream of a skilled and stronger India, skill development has been a vital cog in JKCement’s vision for community development. Yadupatiji was always ahead of his times. Over three decades ago, when skill development was unheard of, he set out on establishing vocational training institutes to develop the Country’s youth and create employability for them.
- Our vocational training institutes are today amongst India’s most advanced and best equipped skills training centres and have been instrumental in developing human resources that are now contributing to the Nation’s growth and development on the technological and infrastructural fronts. Several trainees from these centers have turned out to be the brand ambassadors of skill development. They have not only been to transform their lives but also that of their families and communities.
- We also ensure building a resilient connection with various industries not just for outstanding placements, but also to modernize the course curriculum & to ensure creativity in training for all the courses as per the industry requirements. We encourage entrepreneurship and teaming up with concerned supportive bodies for incubation and mentorship. Over the years, we have trained more than 8000 youth and placed 6588 youth in the Government and Private sector.
- Our institutes are creating promising career avenues for the youth and have been recognized for their commitment to excellence, and nurturing world class technicians through emphasis on rigorous training both inside and outside the classroom, including on the job training.
- Taking forward Yadupatiji’s legacy and vision and in addition to the significant contribution we have made in this sphere over the past many decades, last year we established the ‘Yadupati Singhania Vocational Education Foundation (YSVEF)’ through which we will impart vocational skills to thousands of youngsters, to make them employment ready.
- Our aim is to build contextually relevant vocational training institutes with world class training standards, that develop socially-conscious technocrats and entrepreneurs and we hope that our alumni continue to contribute towards a more stronger, sustainable and prosperous India.
