3. Training Objectives
• Skill & competency development
• Empower students to be to successfully
embark on their careers in industrial
automation
• To fill the skill-gap that exists between the
industry needs and expectations and
students emerging out of engineering
courses

4. Student Expectations
Students seek expanding career
opportunities and aspire to find placement
in growing companies. They are conscious
of the fact that under the existing economic
conditions job aspirants out number job
opportunities. They also are acutely aware
that they need to have the necessary skills
required by the industry.

5. Industry Needs
Industrial companies, such as electric
power plants, cement plants, refineries,
pharmaceuticals, automotive, metals and
mining plants (large industrial verticals in
India), automation supplier, system
integrator, engineering, and information
technology companies need skilled
automation professionals

6. Industry Expectations
Both end user and automation
companies expect the engineers
emerging after successfully completing
the course must possess the necessary
skills required to perform the tasks and
duties

8. Competencies may incorporate a
skill, but are MORE than the skill,
they include abilities and
behaviors, as well as knowledge
that is fundamental to the use of
a skill
