The Indian Navy has started an apprentice
training school at Dabolim to upskill ITI students and give them technical
skills which will enable them to get employment as technicians for civilian and
military aircraft. The school will address the shortfall of aeronautical
technicians, said the Indian Navy in a statement.
The first batch
includes five students
While the first batch includes five
students, the Indian Navy intends to scale up the school to accommodate around
50 apprentices per batch. The Apprentice Training School (ATS) is attached to
the Naval Aircraft Yard at INS Hansa and was inaugurated last week by master
craftsman shipwright Rama Chari, the longest serving employee of the naval
aircraft yard.
Assistant chief of naval staff (Air
Material) rear admiral Deepak Bansal was present for the inauguration“The ATS
aims to augment the aviation technical talent pool and also aid the national
apprenticeship promotion scheme under the ‘Skill India’ initiative. The school
is one of the limited vocational training institutes of the country in
aeronautical technology,” said a naval officer.
The training school willalso address the
shortfall of aeronautical vocational training centres
The Navy said that the training school
will provide “impetus for upskilling the technical workforce and also address
the shortfall of aeronautical vocational training centres” in the defence and
civilian sectors.
While the Indian Navy advertised for
vacancies for apprentices in November 2021, just five candidates were selected
for the first batch. The five candidates are two fitters and three electricians
who hail from Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. “It is intended
to scale up the school to accommodate around 50 apprentices per batch,” the
Navy stated.
The Navy is
offering apprenticeships at the naval ship repair yard at Karwar and the Naval Aircraft Yard at INS Hansa
and the selected candidates had the option of choosing Karwar or Goa . The Navy
said that just five candidates opted for Goa.
The selection, tests and interview were
held at the Naval base at Karwar.
