Full time schooling in craft skills

This is very much needed today, many more students who enter the construction industry should do so after full-Lime schooling in craft skills. If India wants a first class building industry we should follow the lead taken by other European countries and invest more in skills training. |

absolutely anjali
training makes the student more skillful and enrich their life long career in construction industry.
I agree with Anjali & Satish that there should be full time crafting schools in India. But the curriculum should cover multiple trades & should not be limited to 1 trade. According to me, the problem with the courses of crafting schools in the countries as mentioned by Anjali / Satish is that the professionals are trained & experienced only in 1 discipline. They have very less or no exposure to other disciplines. I have worked / come across many such western operatives / foreman. They are master of a trade but ignorant when it comes to other trades which results in lack of co-ordination. Co-ordination is most important & necessary in construction & everyone will agree to it. The operatives / foreman should be experienced in more than 1 trade. They can be master of 1 & experienced in others. For instance, I had come across a team of operatives during my work experience in India. They were well experienced in formwork as well as rebar. This team used to get more preference as the co-ordination between the two disciplines was taken care by them. Foremen / operatives with versatile skills are always prefered.
I fully agree with Anjali. Infact there cannot be an alternative to full time craft schooling. You can't expect foremen, workers and/or even professionals to be master of all trades. The technology is changing very fast and we in India do not have the basic craft skills training infrastructure. Our craftsmen and professional are trained by practice at the cost of work.
Most of the developed countries run the craft skills training centers run by the trade associations and recognized by the Governments.
