“A Global institution for developing and enhancing knowledge of individuals and organizations with emphasis on training, research, safety, and skill upgradation. Our field of focus would be specific to welding both manually and automated.
The goal is to fulfil the industrial requirements of a skilled individual starting from the workforce to the managerial level. We would also be engaging in guiding the industry in defining and developing the process as per their requirements. In-house research projects in combination with students and industry would be carried out in parallel.”
Introduction:
A high-tech training centre “GTU-Keepsake Welding Research And Skill Development Centre – Centre Of Excellence Welding” in the field of welding has been set up jointly by Keepsake Engineering Consultancy Private Limited (Keepsake – Industry Partner), Centre for Entrepreneurship Development(CED), Gujarat Technological University(GTU) at LD College of Engineering, Ahmedabad under the Skill Development Programme Of Government of Gujarat with an aim to upgrade the skill of students and industry persons and to make them employable.
Facilities:
-
• The centre is equipped with the latest communication aids, an air-conditioned lecture hall and a workshop with modern facilities for classroom &actual hands-on training in Welding & Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).
