A new training academy has been launched in Vijayawada with the aim of developing skilled workers in the construction sector. Knauf India and Pratham Education Foundation have jointly established this academy, which offers a 45-day training program in drywall and false ceiling installation.
This academy reflects Knauf India’s commitment to developing a skilled, industry-ready workforce and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities in India’s fast-evolving construction sector, particularly in drywall and ceiling systems.
The Vijayawada Academy is designed to deliver hands-on, industry-relevant training. It will focus on drywall and false ceiling installation, combining technical instruction with practical, site-based learning.
The program will be open to candidates aged 18 years and above, with approximately 100 trainees expected to be enrolled in the first year.
Over the course of the 45-day training program, participants will be introduced to NSDC-aligned modules, workplace safety protocols, and practical installation techniques. The curriculum has been structured to enhance employability and prepare candidates for roles such as site supervisors across the construction, real estate, interiors, and allied industries.
This initiative will help the youth in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to enhance their skills in the construction sector and secure better employment opportunities. It will also contribute to the regional economy.
