New Delhi: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has presented the Budget 2020-21. Under Budget 2020-21, the government proposes to start a programme whereby urban local bodies across the country would provide internship opportunities to fresh engineers.
Up to 1-year internship to fresh engineers provided by Urban Local Bodies will help engineering candidates to hone their skills and know the development and execution process. In the long run, it will help to produce highly-skilled workforce in the engineering landscape.
Mr. Narayan Mahadevan, Founder, BridgeLabz-Platform, said “the focus on Fresh Engineers Job in the first year after engineering. This is a great acknowledgement by the government. This is because India has the world’s largest supply of Graduating Engineers every year and if they can be somehow made employable, they can truly become Global Workforce in Deep Tech Area. I wish Government finds ways to support and incentivise Startups and more importantly use startups to make engineers employable and make India the largest source of tech employable workforce for the globe.”
Urban local bodies providing fresh engineers with job opportunities for one year, allowing them to learn on the job, will contribute to a highly-skilled workforce, said Ms. Divya Jain, Founder & CEO, Safeducate.
