2 EETP Evolution: The present environment Its a dynamic world where the nature of technology and industry changes rapidly with new innovations and requirements. It s a linked,complex world where economies, demographics, markets, culture, thoughts, innovations, entrepreneurship etc are inter-dependent. It s a market-driven world where basis is global Demand- Supply. It s a Fittest-survive competitive world. Production, Productivity, Innovation etc. on the platform of evolving Technologies, are the driving forces.

3 EETP Evolution:Present Employment scenario A Demanding industry puts crucial pressure points on Learning eco-system. Education & Skilling system to be responsive and adaptive to the demand of the industries. Factors like legacy, culture, infrastructure, inertia, costs etc. often create barriers and sub-optimal systems. A gap is most likely to be present between academics and industry needs Industries often do not find right manpower, affecting adversely the employment scenario. The national employability report compiled by Aspiring Minds revealed that only percent of technical graduates in the country are ready to be employed.

4 EETP Evolution: Requisite for Engineers The 21st-century engineer must have the capacity to: Understand the Physical constructs and Contextual base of the economic, industrial, social, political, and international dimensions within which engineering is practiced; Design, in order to meet safety, reliability, environmental, cost, operational and maintenance objectives; Realize, products; Create, operate, and sustain complex systems; Participate in the process of research; and Gain the intellectual skills needed for lifelong learning.

5 EETP Evolution: Telecommunications AICTE as the national body for technical education sought to implement programs to impart technical skills and improve employability. DoT in its NTP-2012 has envisaged its active role in country-wide capacity building and skill development in telecom. BSNL having country-wide high-end telecom equipment & resources for a proactive initiative on this count, has agreed for its support & contribution. To reduce the gap between academics and industry needs in telecom, AICTE and BSNL have joined their hands and signed MoU on 27 th Feb 2013 under Employability Enhancement Training Program (EETP) in the presence of Hon ble Minister HRD, Dr. M. M. Pallam Raju & MoS HRD Sh. Jitin Prasad.
