Samsung India and the Directorate of Technical Education (Training), Government of Rajasthan initiated a partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) aimed at setting up the Samsung Technical School at the Government ITI in Bani Park, Jaipur. The MoA was signed by Mr. Kali Charan Sharaf, Higher and Technical Education Minister, Government of Rajasthan and Mr. Rajiv Mishra, Vice President, Samsung India.
Samsung Technical School runs the Advanced Repair and Industrial Skills Enhancement (A.R.I.S.E.) program, providing students trade-specific training on various aspects of repair and troubleshooting for consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, televisions, home theatres and home appliances. Students will also get real-time work experience at Samsung authorised service centres and training on soft skills so they can provide exemplar customer service.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Kali Charan Sharaf, Higher and Technical Education Minister, Government of Rajasthan said, “We welcome industry collaborations as they are important to give students exposure into the needs and demands of the industry. We hope that this partnership with Samsung sets the stage for more skilled, employment-ready youth to join and strengthen the manufacturing and the allied servicing sectors in Rajasthan.”
Mr. Rajiv Mishra, Vice President, Samsung India said, “Samsung is committed to helping the Rajasthan Government in its skill development programmes. The Samsung Technical School program is the company’s step towards promoting entrepreneurship and skill development in the state. We are confident that the knowledge and skills the students gain through the A.R.I.S.E. program will equip them with skills for self-employment or to gain meaningful employment across the industry.”
The Samsung Technical School at Jaipur is part of Samsung’s national effort towards scaling skilling initiatives in India thus addressing the need for talented manpower with practical know-how and relevant industry experience. As on date, there are 14 Technical Schools operational in the country. These Samsung Technical Schools have been set up in collaboration with the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) and Departments of Technical Education in states such as Bihar, Delhi and West Bengal.
