Saab India Technologies Private Limited is a fully owned subsidiary of Saab AB, Sweden, a supplier to the Indian armed forces for over three decades.
Saab India has initiated a skills training program designed to enhance employability of College Engineers at Institutes hosting DEEP in Gudivada and Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh.
The Saab Diploma Employment Enhancement Program (DEEP), an employability enhancement and skill development program for Indian College Engineering students is designed to bridge the gap between industry’s requirements and the Indian technical education system. The first pilot classes in collaboration with Indian Technical Institutes will start in December 2012.
Course Profile
The six-month Saab DEEP program is designed to help engineering students learn and hone the right mix of technical and soft skills while they are still in college. Students of different branches of the Diploma will follow different, specifically designed tracks. The programs will have an initial focus on mechanical engineering. Subsequently, the programs will focus on aviation engineering and automotive engineering.
The curriculum involves classroom training and a two-month on- the-job training and internship. The program will involve 100% placements for students in partnering Indian companies and Swedish companies in India.
Collaboration
Saab has shortlisted institutions for collaboration for the program in Gudivada and Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh. Both places were short listed due to the number of Polytechnic / Diploma and Engineering Courses available and taking into account the number of students graduating every year in these two regions.
Saab is already active in Andhra Pradesh with on-going cooperation with Mahindra Satyam and establishment of the Saab India Technology Centre in Hyderabad.
Training
The initial training of teachers will take place in Sweden. The class will be imparted in a 3-month theory and 3-month practical module, the training will involve a mix of instructor-led training, workshops, hands-on practice in the labs, assignments and mini-projects and assessments. The Saab DEEP program will create industry relevant competencies like ability to apply knowledge; design skills; problem solving skills; technical competence; ability to work in multidisciplinary teams; communication skills; sensitivity towards global, societal and environmental issues; sensitivity towards ethical and professional issues and readiness for lifelong learning. During the course, it will also be interaction between both teachers and students in India and relevant counterparts in Sweden.
