Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Hon’ble Minister of State for the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, delightfully announced the new centers in Delhi and Bangalore and underscored the importance of preparing youth with future-ready skills. This collaboration in sectors like Infrastructure, Logistics, Aerospace, and Defense underscores the importance of aligning skilling programs with industry needs. By leveraging India’s strengths and adapting to local demands, MSMEs, and state policies, meaningful opportunities can be created for individuals across different regions. He commended Tata’s strong commitment to addressing national priorities and encouraged both Airbus and Tata to continue their efforts in skill development and higher education. He noted that if formal education is integrated with skills development, students can seamlessly explore new opportunities and align themselves with the skills required by the industry.

Today’s young minds are striving to reinvent themselves and ready for lifelong learning, the 120 under-training students at the center are acquiring skills, and gaining confidence to reach new heights and they are also getting inspiration from Airbus to achieve greater in both education and skills. Dignitaries at the event included Ms. Sonal Mishra, Joint Secretary of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship; Mr. Ameya Vanjari, COO of Tata STRIVE; and Mr. Remi Maillard, President and Managing Director of Airbus India and South Asia.

The institutes of Delhi and Bengaluru are well-equipped to provide training through placement-linked skill training programs, covering sectors such as IT, Electronics, and Aviation, offering courses like AWS Cloud Computing, Junior Full Stack Developer, and Cyber Security. In the future students benefit from courses in Aviation and Aerospace, a duration of 3 to 6 months which are designed to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities for the trained and certified youth. Tata Community Initiatives Trust (TCIT) was established in 2014 to address national challenges. Tata STRIVE, an initiative under TCIT, focuses on equipping India’s youth, particularly those aged 18-35 from disadvantaged communities, with the skills needed for employment and entrepreneurship. It has positively impacted more than 1.7 million lives through various skilling programs specifically in  Delhi NCR and Karnataka region.

The new Airbus-Tata STRIVE centers in Delhi and Bengaluru are set to benefit youth from economically underprivileged backgrounds, with plans to upskill over 900 individuals in the next three years. With state-of-the-art facilities and future expansion plans, these institutes aim to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals. The success of the institute is expected to contribute to the creation of a large skilled workforce, which will encourage the industrial community to establish a presence in the region. This, in turn, will help address the challenge of unemployment.
