 Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF), an ISO 9001 certified educational foundation established in 1963, is the symbol of Indo-Swiss cooperation aimed at promoting vocational technical education for the youth of India.   NTTF today is recognised by the industry segments across India for their skilled manpower requirements. Renowned companies like Boeing India, Siemens Limited and CISCO have retained NTTF as the “Training Partner” for imparting latest skills that are needed by the highly demanding aviation, automation and IT sectors respectively. Many leading industries have partnered with NTTF and provided excellent infrastructure support for running our training programs. 
NTTF is governed by a board of leading industrialists. With the strength of over 800 faculties, the foundation implements technical programs through more than 20 training centres located pan India. All the courses are industry-focused and the curriculum are updated and revamped by a council of eminent personalities representing academics and industry. 
Over past five decades it has trained over 40,000 students. The institution has an enviable track record of industry placement (more than 98 per cent) of its technicians and engineers both in India and abroad. Few of them have turned out to be successful entrepreneurs across the globe. 
NTTF is currently serving the society through the following key verticals: • Long-term core programs (6 months to 3 years, certificate/ diploma/ post-diploma/ postgraduate levels) • Vocational skill development programs (3 months to one year) • ‘Learn and Earn’ training programs (AICTE’s National Employability Enhancement Mission)• Corporate Training Programs (industry-customised skill upgradation programs) • Other skill development initiatives (partnered with NSDC and state governments).
