The state's skill development ecosystem has expanded its focus to emerging technologies through the introduction of 11 "New Age" courses across more than 70 government, grant-in-aid and self-financed ITIs. In addition to technical training, trainees receive placement assistance through industry partnerships, contributing to high placement rates. Another beneficiary, Neeraj Mishra from Gandhinagar, also shared his experience of receiving skill training under the programme. District Skill Development Officer N. V. Desai said placement outcomes at ITI Kubernagar reflected the effectiveness of the training and industry linkage. The Gujarat Skill Development Mission (GSDM) implements several programmes aimed at improving employability and entrepreneurship among young people.
