Indian Machine Tools Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) has announced its collaboration with FE Dream, a non-profit organisation, to upskill women engineers, enhance their employability skills to make them industry-ready professionals and ensure self-reliance. The no-cost, 8-week training program is scheduled to be conducted from February 07, 2022 – March 31, 2022, at the IMTMA Design Institute, Bangalore International Exhibition Centre in Bengaluru and will focus on “Design and Manufacturing of Special Purpose Machine”. 

Through this collaboration, IMTMA and FE Dream aim at empowering women engineers and impart the necessary industry skills to create industry-ready professionals for the manufacturing industry. With the common objective of empowering women in India, the training program focuses on increasing the employability of women engineers in the manufacturing industry by delivering design and manufacturing skills to young women graduates and ensuring self-reliance for women. As part of the program, women graduates or diploma engineers from mechanical and allied disciplines, recently graduated from various Indian institutions between 2020 and 2021, will be eligible to enrol themselves for the program. 

Apart from aiding self-reliance of women, the program also aims at empowering the manufacturing industry with a dedicated, trained, and talented women workforce. Both IMTMA and FE Dream identified the need for imparting technical skill-based training for young women graduates or diploma engineers from Indian institutions. Both partners will be working together to facilitate placement opportunities for interested program candidates on completion of the 8-week program. 

IMTMA has been committed to providing comprehensive industry oriented training for fresh engineers to enhance employability skills. They have also been focusing on training working professionals in the manufacturing industry on production, quality, maintenance, automation, and machine design for higher productivity.
