The Faculty Development Program (FDP) under the Tech-Saksham Program is designed to instill key technical skills and enhance the technical capacity of teachers across technical institutions of the country. Teachers are the most important pillars of the education ecosystem and play a pivotal role in helping students adapt to new technologies, nurturing their technical and entrepreneurial skills to become employable. The program focuses on helping teachers along a continuous journey to enhance their skills during and after the training program. Faculty members will be provided with numerous opportunities to (1) learn through the e-learning platforms of Microsoft and SAP while earning certifications and badges and (2) get technical support and mentorship as needed to aid in their learning journey.
The workshops are conducted through both online and offline medium from a period of 3 to 5 days as agreed upon with the college. The faculty members attend instructor led sessions with master trainers. During this they are assessed at the end of each session according to which they access the eligible certification.
The FDP sessions accomplish the goals of the program and leave a lasting impact on the currecnt and future batches of students.
