Skill Development Program for Pultrusion
Operators

ATIRA’s Center of Excellence (CoE) Composites announces Skill Development Program for Pultrusion Operators

The composites industry is witnessing unprecedented growth, driven by its wide-ranging applications in sectors such as infrastructure, automotive, energy, aerospace, and more. As demand for lightweight and durable materials continues to rise, the need for a skilled workforce capable of leveraging advanced manufacturing techniques like pultrusion has become critical. This specialized training program conducted under the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM) and aligned with NSQF standards aims to fill this gap, ensuring that professionals are well-equipped to meet industry standards and contribute to the evolving landscape of composite manufacturing.

The government of India aims to skill on a large scale with speed and high standards in order to achieve its vision of a ‘Skilled India’. At ATIRA we are in complete alignment with this vision and with this skill development program for pultrusion, we playing an active role in realising this vision.

Among the diverse manufacturing techniques for composites, pultrusion stands out due to its ability to produce high-strength, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant components with exceptional precision and consistency. This program is tailored to equip learners with specialized skills in pultrusion, thereby offering access to exciting market opportunities.

Focus Area: Rotary Printing
Target: To skill 240 people in one year

CSR Project by: Stovec Industries Ltd.

A Netherlands based conglomerate, having manufacturing base for textile processing machinery at Ahmedabad, India, is contributing for this skill development program.

Implementing Partner: ATIRA, Ahmedabad.

ATIRA is a non-profit organisation primarily in the fields of research and development, innovation and the dissemination of information for textile and allied industries. You can only keep what you have by giving it away. As an R & D organisation, ATIRA conducts research based technical training programs to bring about sustainable change within the industries.

Project Description:

The technical skill training is designed for Rotary Printing within the area of wet processing for textiles. The program was open for fresher workers and it also took into account Recognition of Previous Learning (RPL). The program was flagged off in the first week of October 2020 with a goal of training 240 employee workers. Each cohort is designed to include 20 trainees, taking them through a comprehensive and hands-on learning experience over a period of one  month. It includes both theory and practice sessions. A thorough evaluation module post training helps to assess the trainees’ level of skill development and gauge the efficacy and outcome of the training program.

The primary objective of the trainings  are:

    1. To upskill the personnel so that their income earning capacity improves 
    2. To reduce value loss in processing and thereby improve the quality of the printed fabrics
    3. To ensure proper maintenance of the machines

The trainees for this given program are primarily from the helper categories and are unskilled as far as rotary  screen printing is concerned. They can be categorized into the following tangible groups based on their current level of skill:

a. Unskilled entry level labourers 
b. Semiskilled workers
c. Skilled workers 

Each category of applicants is primed to absorb as much critical process information as possible enabling them to transcend to the next skill level along with special emphasis on addressing problem areas and trouble-shooting for technical and mechanical issues. This enables both personal and professional development and opens up the option of growth within the unit or even a possibility of joining other units with a chance of income augmentation.
