Skill training provided by Singareni Collieries has helped 112 youth, including 87 female candidates, from affected coal mine areas to get job opportunities. The first batch of 55 selected women left Godavarikhani for Hyderabad on Sunday.

According to RG-I Singareni Collieries area officials, interviews of 154 candidates were recently conducted through Singareni GVTC Skill Development Center in Ramagundam-I area. Out of 127 female candidates who attended the interviews, 87 were selected for employment at Foxconn in Hyderabad. Similarly, 27 male candidates were interviewed for solar technician positions and 25 of them were selected for employment as solar technicians.

Opened two years ago, the center provides skills training and job opportunities to local youth. In the last two years, it has provided job opportunities to more than 500 candidates. The center takes steps to provide training in courses that are in demand in the labor market and links skills development with suitable job opportunities.

Last week, Foxconn conducted special recruitment interviews for female candidates at the GVTC Skill Development Centre, where a total of 87 women were selected to work in assembly sections for Apple EarPods and electronic components at the company’s Hyderabad manufacturing facility. These opportunities in the industrial sector are expected to help local women achieve greater financial independence.

RG–I Area General Manager D. Lalith Kumar said that 25 candidates have been selected for the job after undergoing training in the solar technician course. He further informed that he will join L&T Company within 10 days.

He stated that Singareni is committed to equipping youth from Singareni affected areas with the skills needed to secure employment. He said linking training with job opportunities allows young people to build a better future for themselves. He advised the selected candidates to make the most of the opportunities offered to them, maintain discipline at work and strive for professional growth.
