Why enroll

  • Many students find it difficult to settle in an industry, even if they are academically skilled. This course brings out about everything that is required for a GET (Graduate Engineering Trainee) or DET (Diploma Engineering Trainee) prior to their industrial exposure.

  • The course contains explanations of certain industrial management tools, such as MRP, Inventory control, Lot sizing, etc., which becomes very handy for those professionals who want to show their mettle in the industry. All these tools are very carefully designed and explained in the course.

  • Working in an industry is not always field work. You as an engineer is required to show your presentation skills to convey various ideas,issues and solutions. The tools explained in the course would come very handy.

  • And last but not the least. You are going to understand the in and outs of a industry from the viewpoint of a person who joined as a trainee (GET) & made his way up in the ladder to become a production engineer.

Opportunities that awaits you!
