Tamil Nadu : Seeking to provide job opportunities for educated unemployed youth in rural areas, Collector S. Natarajan on Monday launched an awareness programme on skill development training offered by Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation (TNSDC).
While Government Industrial Technical Institutes (ITI) in Ramanathapuram, Paramakudi and Mudukulathur offered regular skill development courses, TNSDC offered non-regular skill development courses to make youth employable and help them to start self employment.
The administration proposed to take the training programme to the rural youth by roping in three ITIs and two TNSDC recognized private technical institutions, he said.
A hi-tech LED publicity vehicle of the Department of Information and Public Relations would be utilized to create awareness.
The TNSDC has proposed to offer skill development training under more than 12 heads including electrical, welding, plumbing, construction, two-wheeler and four-wheeler repair and CNC lathe operation.
Those who joined the programme would be given an allowance of Rs. 100 a day during the training period and the amount would be directly credited into the bank accounts.
