I'm pursuing an ITI trade and interested in landing a government job. Are there specific ITI trades that would increase my chances of being hired for a government position?
Yes, an Industrial Training Institute (ITI) trade can lead to government job opportunities in India. Many public sector organizations, such as Indian Railways, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), various state electricity boards, along with military services such as Indian Army and Indian Navy, recruit ITI graduates for various trades.
It's important to note that the opportunities can vary depending upon the trade you pursue. Some of the trades that frequently see government job postings include fitter, electrician, mechanic, draftsman, welder, and turner, among others.
For example, Indian Railways frequently has openings for electricians, welders, and fitters. State electricity boards often recruit electricians. The Indian Army and Navy also hire for various trades, including Mechanic (Motor Vehicle) and Electrician.
Additionally, several government organisations conduct Apprenticeship programs for ITI completers in different trades to provide practical experience and employment opportunities.
Keep in mind that securing these positions often requires you to qualify for a written examination and/or interview conducted by the respective public sector organizations. Therefore, it's not just about completing the course, but also about honing your skills and being prepared for the selection processes of the respective job postings. Always stay updated with the official websites of these organizations for job notifications.
I recommend focusing on the trade that aligns with your interests and strengths. This not only boosts your chances of finding opportunities but also can lead to an enjoyable and fulfilling career.
