I have been in Technical & Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and community service, where I work with youths for more than 30 years. The opportunity to contribute to the Skilled in Odisha vision of the Odisha is one that resonates with me. The work that my colleagues and I do to uplift the lives of youths through enabling them to gain professional skills and competencies is critical to ensuring they can make a good life for themselves and their families. I truly believe in this as I too walked a similar path as a youth many decades ago. Academic achievements used to be the passport to a good future but in today’s rapidly evolving landscape skills has come to the forefront in ensuring a livelihood and future.

Since my deployment from Singapore to World Skill Center (WSC), Bhubaneswar,in end-February 2024, I have had a most humbling experience. My colleagues at WSC are not only dedicated to their work, driven by the vision and mission of WSC; they also amaze and inspire me with their can-do attitude in the face of tremendous work pressure and tight deadlines. I am proud and privileged to work with such a professional team of colleagues at WSC who are committed to their common mission of transforming lives through vocational and technical training. I am also greatly inspired by the “Skilled in Odisha” vision which not only aims to unlock human capital to facilitate aspirational employment, but also create entrepreneurship pathways for all.

Senior Director, School of Services

I’ve spent over 40 years working in training and development. My knack for connecting with people has allowed me to effectively lead teams on various projects. I’ve taken real-world experiences and woven them into classroom teaching. As a Trainer and Consultant for TVET countries, I’ve specialized in Engineering and Pedagogy/Andragogy training. Over the years, I’ve been passionate about creating and adapting educational technologies (especially eLearning). I’ve even had the chance to share my insights at international conferences.

Director, School of Engineering

I believe the impact of a teacher on a student will last a lifetime. We must ensure that we do no harm and empower every single student to embrace and achieve their potential and dreams. My dream for WSC is that the Academy be recognized as a leader in TVET education not only nationally but internationally. Its faculty will be a major contributor to the professionalization of all TVET trainers. In order to produce world-ready students, we need world-ready teachers. The Academy will embark on many training courses and workshops to deepen and sharpen the skills and competences required to achieve the dream.
