Kolkata:
Britain-based Bournville College of Further Education's training
and consultancy arm will collaborate with companies here for
upgradation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) and work on
the skills of nearly 1,000 people in the first year of its
operation in India.
Bournville Training & Consultancy, a training and consultancy arm
of the Bournville College of Further Education, Birmingham,
Tuesday announced the start of its South Asia operations with Kolkata as its hub.
It aims to spread across India, providing a holistic training
programme with globally recognised certifications to ITIs.
Bournville provides consultancy programmes focusing on the three
key aspects of training - content, infrastructure and technology.
It will also bring in its international partners - Shepherd
Construction for Infrastructure Development and Broadway Malyan
for Architectural Development. The institution itself will provide
content.
It announced its first strategic collaboration in India with the
Globsyn group.
It will work on the development of six ITIs of this group,
offering to train around 1,000 people. The content will be
modified according to the necessity and demands of the state and
region.
"West Bengal came out as a perfect choice to commence our
operations in South Asia as the state has high demand of company
products and services, business objectives synergies, low
competition and proximity to the ASEAN countries," said Bournville
College principal Norman Cave.
Said Sudeshna Chatterjee, director of the institution's South Asia
Development: "We are expecting to work with 50 ITIs across India
by 2012... We will build capacity and capabilities by creating a
'cache of super trainers' which will then help catalyse and
downward filtration process."
The trainers with specials skills would be given a teacher
training programme in Britain, she added.
Chatterjee said trainers would be deployed to India and students
exchange programmes for MBA aspirants are also in the offing.
"The current infrastructure for skill development in India is
seriously lacking and there is a growing demand by both public and
private sectors for overseas expertise and experience to make
businesses globally competitive," she said.
