Woodworking Skills

Woodworking is practiced as a skill all over the world. There is no space today; whether schools, offices, homes or industries where you don’t find use of any wooden materials. This is a field in which, in India, there is an approximately 15% annual growth, however, there are not enough trained/skilled persons in the Industry.

In India almost 75% of the persons employed in this field work in the unorganized sector resulting in poor quality and production inefficiencies whereas, the global woodwork industry, including those setting up in India today, has evolved into a highly mechanized and automated manufacturing unit with ever increasing production efficiencies. There is therefore a dire need to provide formal training opportunities to students in this field so that we can fill the gap that exists between demand and supply of adequately skilled persons required both in India and abroad and reverse the tide in production quality and outputs.

BSDU, through its state of the art facility, Swiss based dual education model and industry recommended curriculum provides a world class training opportunity to the students. The students undergo training in semesters that alternate between university based education and paid internships in the industry.

The BVoc program contains modules in hand skills, use of power tools, CNC machines, fittings, assembly, CAD 3D designing and soft skill modules such as personality development and entrepreneurship. So if you want to give wings to your creativity and at the same time want to grab the opportunities for professional and personal growth, come join us in the School of Woodworking Skills.
