Bhubaneswar: Keeping in mind the current job market demand, ITI Bhubaneswar has introduced four Smart Trades for the first time in Odisha. These will enable students to tap the latest career opportunities in the job sector with an IoT (Internet of Things) based curriculum.
The Smart Trades are: IoT Technician Smart Agriculture, IoT Technician Smart City, IoT Technician Smart Healthcare and Smart Phone Technician-cum-Application Tester. Each trade has got 24 seats each. The good thing is that the courses are free of cost for girls, SC & ST and physically challenged students.
Principal ITI Bhubaneswar Jitamitra Satapathy said, “Though to get an entry to any industry-ready course at any ITI, the minimum educational qualification is a pass certificate in Class X Board examination, these Smart Trades can also help graduates in getting rewarding careers and also towards building their own ventures successfully.’’
Leading electric manufacturing firm, Schneider Electric has given a proposal to the Principal of Government ITI Bhubaneswar to sponsor a ‘Train The Trainer’ programme by giving training to some faculty members.
IoT is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interactions.
