New Delhi : Here is an example of a university reaching out to its neighbourhood.
The Outreach Programme of Jamia Millia Islamia, in collaboration with Dr. Zakir Husain Memorial Welfare Society and Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC), has launched an all-women training programme aimed at developing skills of women aged between 18-35 years in Jamia Nagar, the area in which the 94-year-old university is located, in south Delhi.
This training programme, which is Jamia’s one of the major outreach projects, will equip the women-trainees to explore job opportunities in the telecom sector for economic empowerment.
The training programme has telecom modules for in-store promoters that will allow trainees to become familiar with specifications, features and applications of various state -of -the-art mobile phones that they will be able to promote in different branded stores.
The Outreach Programme of Jamia Millia Islamia is trying to reach out its neighbourhood through skill-development programmes.
The launch was attended by the senior functionaries of the Telecom Sector Skill Council, Women International Network and World Health Initiative for Peace.
