Through our partnership with the Haryana State Board of Technical Education, we are equipping educators with relevant technical knowledge and practical exposure to bring industry perspectives into the classroom. The Training of Trainers programme will strengthen technical education while enabling greater awareness of the diverse applications and opportunities offered by stainless steel across industries.”
The programme follows the renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Jindal Stainless’ Stainless Academy and the Haryana State Board of Technical Education (HSBTE) in May 2026, aimed at continuing the Stainless Steel Elective Course for mechanical engineering students in government polytechnic colleges across the state.
The Stainless Steel Elective Course is part of a range of curriculum-focused initiatives aimed at building a future-ready blue- and white-collar workforce for the stainless steel ecosystem. Through industry-aligned curricula, faculty development programmes, specialised courses for engineering institutions, polytechnics and ITIs, and fabrication training programmes for MSMEs and fabricators, the initiative aims to strengthen technical capabilities and enhance employability across the value chain.
