About Us
Welcome
The Shifathima Medversity Research Council Training stands as an integral arm of the Shifathima Medversity Research Council Training (SMRCT) Vocational Education Council, as enshrined within Articles 29 & 30(1) of the Indian Constitution. It operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India, duly recognized and accredited by the International Quality Standards for Vocational Education Council (IQSVEC). Within the intricate tapestry of our nation’s socioeconomic landscape, skills, knowledge, and innovation emerge as paramount catalysts propelling economic growth and social advancement. Nations endowed with higher levels of proficiency not only navigate but thrive amidst the challenges and opportunities presented by the global economy. India, despite registering commendable economic strides in the past decade, faces certain impediments hindering the seamless advancement of skill development and job creation.
To surmount these challenges, vocational education emerges as a beacon of hope, offering a viable pathway for both social and personal development. It possesses the potential to catalyze socio-economic progress within developing nations such as India. By democratizing vocational education, and ensuring its accessibility to learners regardless of age, geographical location, or formal qualifications, we pave the way for a more inclusive educational landscape. Through tailored vocational programs that align with the evolving needs of industries, we can bridge the gap between demand and supply in the job market. Under the ambit of the Additional Skill Qualification Training Programme (ASQTP), the promotion and nurturing of vocational education take center stage. Setting and upholding rigorous standards in skill-based vocational education become imperative in ensuring its efficacy and relevance within our national context.
Vocational Education: Empowering Career Trajectories
Vocational education epitomizes a targeted approach towards equipping individuals with specialized proficiencies tailored for distinct professions, vocations, or trades. The National Centre for Vocational Research and Training (NCVRT), through its provision of vocational courses under the Additional Skill Qualification Training Programme (ASQTP), ardently champions the cause of equipping students with the requisite acumen to seamlessly transition into the professional sphere. Indeed, the very essence of ‘vocational’ connotes a resolute focus on the practical application of skills germane to the world of work.
Embarking on an ASQTP course signifies a resolute commitment to acquiring competencies essential for securing and excelling within a particular job role. Unlike traditional academic pursuits, vocational courses eschew the conventional pedagogical approach in favor of immersive, hands-on training methodologies. By immersing students in practical applications, ASQTP courses engender a robust foundation upon which to build a flourishing career trajectory, serving as a veritable gateway from vocational education to enduring professional success
Need Of Vocational Education
The imperative for vocational education has intensified in contemporary society. Employers increasingly demand that new hires possess comprehensive practical skills from the onset, particularly for individuals supporting their families immediately following secondary education. Vocational courses, distinguished by their pragmatic and skills-oriented approach, are commonly offered not only in colleges and technical institutes but also within university settings. Embracing Vocational Education and Training (VET) is pivotal within the national educational framework. It necessitates a nuanced understanding, considering its multifaceted applications. For those with clear career aspirations requiring practical competencies, be it in hospitality and tourism, retail management, software development, or interior design vocational learning assumes paramount significance. The spectrum of skills-based training options is extensive, catering to diverse professional trajectories. In the contemporary technological milieu, even graduates in engineering are expected to augment their academic credentials with technical proficiencies, often through certification pathways.
