  • Provide assured placement to trained candidates within the same industry (captive employment).
  • Enhance the employability of Jharkhand’s youth by making them “industry-ready” from day one.
  • Encourage industries to utilize their own in-house infrastructure for training, ensuring relevance and quality.
