National College inked a pact with the BHEL Small and Medium Industries Association (BHELSIA) to offer a diploma course in Factory Management.
The understanding was signed here by K.Anbarasu, principal, National College, and Rajappa Rajkumar, president, BHELSIA, in the presence of A.V.Krishnan, Executive Director, BHEL, Tiruchi complex.
The course content includes three major components – office management, labour laws, and English proficiency.
Faculty members of the college, and experts from the industry would handle the classes.
The course is intended to tide over the manpower shortage faced by the member units of BHELSIA and the industry at large.
Mr.Krishnan said that apart from producing trained managers for the industry, the course would help in fostering budding entrepreneurs. Though production was the core activity of any company, labour, office, inventory, and safety managements have to be handled properly to ensure the success of business.
The industries in Tiruchi, which has emerged as hub of power plant equipment manufacturing in the country, required trained technical and managerial manpower to meet the changing business environment, and the course would help meet the demand, he observed.
