The objective of this program was to give training to 31 newly appointed vocational trainers from this trade; to brief them about the job roles they were training the students on; to make them understand the work of a vocational trainer as well as the strategic goals and objectives of the NSQF program. This program was funded by Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan Punjab and organized by the LAQSH Job Skills Academy Pvt Ltd team.
All 31 newly appointed vocational trainers along with 2 coordinators Simranjit Singh and Gurjeet Singh came to Chandigarh to attend this training program. Hostels were arranged for these 33 people to stay for along with food.
This is the first time an offline training program has been organized since covid. The last such program was held in 2017. After that all the training programs were held online. Needless to say, there was a high level of communication and interaction between trainers during this training program. Instructors trained the vocational trainers on theory and practical.

DAY 1
On the first day in the morning session the basics of electronics was covered, where topics such as introduction to electricity, basic electrical terms, safety measures were covered.
In the afternoon session LED bulbs was the topic. How LED bulb works, its advantages, identifying problems, fixing common problems were discussed.
DAY 2
On day two, motors, electric fans, solar panel and installation were covered. Key points highlighted were on installation of solar panels involving several steps to ensure proper placement, wiring, and functionality. Some assignments were assigned to vocational trainers on that day.
In the afternoon session there was a recap of all the topics that were taught in these two days. The Vocational Trainers had to review the key concepts they had learnt and make presentations to the class. This further reinforced the learning. In the end there was a Q&A session, where participants asked questions and cleared any doubts they had.
During these 2 days of training period, instructors made sure training was engaging and trainers were able to understand everything. Instructors mainly focused on practical learning that is why various instruments and appliances were used during the training period ensuring vocational trainers learn everything thoroughly and practically.
From the feedback form collected after the program it was clear that trainers learnt very valuable information from this training. This training program gave them a basic idea about how to teach students, what are their career goals, and their role as a vocational trainer.
Throughout the training, it was emphasized on how important safety precautions, hands-on learning, and real-world problem-solving are. Practical exercises should be a significant part of each day’s session to ensure participants gain practical skills. Additionally, participants were provided with reference materials, such as repair manuals and troubleshooting guides, for future reference.
The training program has surely enhanced their skills and knowledge which will help them in their vocational trainer roles. They were very happy with the instructors whom they said were very helpful and supportive, clearing every doubt they had. All the sessions were very engaging and informative was the overall feedback. The Vocational trainers were also very happy to have got the chance to interact with other trainers. This will be very important in the future as they support one another. They also were appreciative of the food and accommodation that was provided to them. Through this training, vocational trainers were taught to aim to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, enabling the students to excel in the Electronics Trade field. This is very important as our vocational trainers’ guidance and expertise will play a pivotal role in our students’ learning journey.

Everything in life depends upon some word from some source. How we understand the words of our world and how we respond to them will often determine our failure or success in making life choices. Choose the right word. According to me, I am average in analytical skills. Training at Laqsh was really helpful in getting confidence in many areas. Another speciality of Laqsh is the individual attention given by the faculty. The faculty share their own experience. That really inspired me. I attended my first interview on the last day of the course & I got my first job! I am really thankful to Laqsh and the faculty. I am placed in Rapid Value It Services as a Software Tester.

It was pleasure for having got trained with institute like Laqsh. Earlier I attend an interview with Ernst & Young and could not clear it as I lacked some skills. Laqsh helped me fill that skill gap and helped me imporve my Computer Skills, Testing Skills, build up my confidence level. I would always be thankful to Laqsh for providing me an opportunity to get placed in Wipro Technologies as a Software Engineer.

I joined Laqsh on August, 2012, as BLR 9 batch. But some unknown fear and insecurity took over me. Maybe it was the fear of being in a new place, among new people. I failed to open up myself. So, I started neglecting my classes. I was so stubborn, and so I decided to leave Laqsh. On the day when I came to Laqsh to present my application, to drop the course, something happened. The faculties of Laqsh took a hold of me, because somehow they knew that this act of mine was suicidal. They were not willing to give up on me, even when I myself had give up all hopes. That day was the most difficult day; I had a tug of war going on in my mind. Finally I gave in. I took their generous advice and decided to rejoin again. It was too late for me to join my previous batch, so I joined as the new BLR 11 batch, on October, 2012. That brought a drastic change in my life. Today after three and half months of my stay at Laqsh, I have become a more matured and confident person. I was like a lost sheep at first. Laqsh rescued me, and have so passionately nurtured and guided me to achieve to certain great heights that I had only imagined in my wildest dreams. I am so thankful to all the wonderful, most acknowledgeable faculty of Laqsh and they are the sole reason why I am in such a confident level now. And now I can’t be more grateful and thankful enough to each and every one of them for making me get through in my first ever job interview by Logfire as Software Tester.

Laqsh changed me a lot. I was very scared to speak before people even in my mother tongue. It got reduced because of Laqsh's education. It is the best platform to learn and upgrade ourselves.The faculty are very helpful & attend to each & every student.The main attraction is it has lot of activities.Laqsh helped me to get through the first interview itself.I got selected in Rapid Value IT Services in Kerala as a software tester.

The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.”- Richard Brinsley Sheridan I’m a B.Tech graduate from IIMT, Uttar Pradesh. I come from a business family. My native is Sitapur. My mother is a teacher of Mathematics and sister a Credit officer at the Bank of Baroda. After completing my graduation I gave a job mentor test conducted by the fresher’s world (helps in analyzing ones aptitude and technical skills). I also looked for jobs but didn’t find anything suitable or interesting. That is when I decided to specialize in a specific domain. I decided to move to Bangalore as it provides good job opportunities in the IT sector and majority of the IT companies are based in Bangalore. I got to know about Laqsh courses through fresher’s world. After joining this course, “My technical and practical knowledge have improved. I gathered skills which helped me clear interviews. Also, I have also become very confident”. Sushma Nagendra and Mr Kannan were my favorite teachers. They used very different teaching methodologies which were easy to understand. My dream is to work with Google. Currently I’m placed at INTEGRA MICRO SOFTWARE SERVICES PVT. LTD, Bangalore as Software Engineer Testing. My advice to everyone is, “One should be confident and never give up. One should have the willingness to learn and adapt then everything will fall into place.”

Training at Laqsh was really helpful in getting confidence in many areas. There are many institute that have similar kind of stuffs but the specialties about Laqsh is its individual attention and its curriculum. Apart from this what can I say about Technical training when person like Kanan Sir and Sushma Mam who has 20 yrs of experience with them are itself in this. Must say that if we have the problem Kanan sir has the solution.

The word LAQSH itself holds a special meaning in my heart. I'm glad to be a part of the LAQSH family. Before joining this institute for manual testing I had no idea about this field as I was from a commerce background. After coming to LAQSH I learnt many things other than the subjects; I got rid of stage fear, I am more confident, my communication skills have improved all of which is very important in this competitive world. Laqsh has excellent facilities & very good faculty who help us in all aspects. With the help of all the faculties and our effort we are happily placed in WIPRO as software engineers. Last but not the least I would like to thank Laqsh for making my career.
