Industry Internship Education Programme (IIEP)
What is IIEP?
Industry Internship Education Programme (IIEP) is a unique concept launched by Tamilnadu State Council of Vocational Training wherein the learning is seamlessly integrated with institution and industry. The learning starts in any of the vocational training centres affiliated to RAM Vocational Training Centre whereas the practical learning happens in the place of his / her work. This adds more weightage to the course as the student attains subject knowledge as well as field knowledge or practical knowledge.
Advantages
The students who have studied through IIEP mode will have better knowledge, both theoretical as well as practical so that they are better equipped to face the industry. In India, we are best in imparting theoretical knowledge whereas there are a lot of pitfalls when practical knowledge is imparted in regular mode. We would like to resolve this and ensure that students are equipped in a better manner to face the world. The students will have an edge over regular students due to their latest practical knowledge.
