CEO Speaks …..

I ’ m delighted to write this at a time when the ASAP Summer Skill Skool 2017 has been whole heartedly received by the educational institutions of the State . The high numbers – student enrolment for skill courses that crossed 18,000 and more than 300 institutions that expressed interest for the Demand , Operate and Train ( DOT ) Scheme , show the acceptance of ASAP as a credible skill facilitator . The benchmarks in skill training set by ASAP during the last four years due to our deliberate and sincere efforts are here to stay and guide the future endeavours . Let us all be proud about this .
Increased acceptance translates into greater responsibilities . Rolling out viable skill batches from the applications and preparing our SDCs , On-the-Job Training centres and Internships centres for successful completion of the Summer Skill Skool should be top on our agenda for the next few months . We need to reciprocate the faith reposed upon us by our partners .
The increased demand offers us learning opportunities as well . The preference of stakeholders towards the Summer Skill Skool mode of Skilling should prompt us to strengthen both – regular and SSS – modes of skilling delivery to reach the target population . This insight comes at a crucial point in the growth of ASAP when Community Skill Parks , are soon going to become our major operational facilities in advanced skill training .
Also , I take this opportunity to share with you my joy in the arrival of the latest generation of Programme Managers to strengthen the existing vibrant and committed pool as well as the sterling performance of the ASAP-driven Trainers Training Academy that successfully trained more than 700 Skill Trainers during the current academic year .
ASAP ’ s contributions to the state , I ’ m sure , will only keep increasing in the days to come with the sincere commitment being shown by our team .
With love and respects Reju M T
