Subject: IMPARTING SKILLS TO BLUE-COLLAR WORKERS
Sabarinath – Rejitha,
In yesterday’s Times of India, I came across an article titled :
“ How Skillveri’s XR simulation boosts blue-collar jobs “ ( I could not find it online )
In there, Sabarinath is quoted :
“ Blue-collar work tends to happen in dirtier settings; it doesn’t have a fancy feel to it. But when we bought in our technology, we were able to make the sector feel a bit more attractive- it is not only dirty work, but there is also high-tech work “
True – and well said
In the 1960s , I was ( first ) Planning Engineer ( then ) Production Manager, in the Switchgear Factory of L&T at Powai . I was responsible for the Shop Floor – including the Paint Shop . So , I understand the “ dirtiness “ of lots of shop-floor process . Most of my 30 years in L&T required me to spend 2 / 3 hours daily on the Shop Floor
Talking of “ High Tech “ part of a blue collar job, in those days, L&T’s heavy engineering workshop used to fabricate from steel plates / alloy plates , precision parts for Atomic Energy power plants – some of which required “ Dust Free Enclosures “
The welders who were supposed to weld these plates, were required to weld a “ Sample Test Plate “ first , every morning. Only if his “ sample “ got approved by the inspector , he would be allowed to continue on the real job , for the rest of the day !
I suppose , this defines the “ High tech “ in a blue collar job
I am thrilled by the innovation that you are engaged in through XR – VR headsets for imparting “ Skills “ to blue-collar workers
In this context , you may want to look up my following blogs ( from about 27 sent to our Cabinet Ministers / other Policy Makers, as E mails ) :
