Training

“People need maintenance and upgrades even more than machines do. Retraining is maintenance. Training is an upgrade. Development is the next generation model.” If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Derek Bok




Training is the most important aspect in development of human capabilities.

A progressive and sensitive corporates make their Human Resource Department work overtime, by conducting in house surveys, on regular basis to identify gaps in areas of skill development, leadership behavioral, and health and safety aspects.

Technology has its own advantages but the complete exploitation of technology is only possible when human is sensitized, have the requisite skills, talent, thought process, energies and commitments to extract the best out of them and deliver to the expectation of corporates. The best of technologies fails to achieve desired results if the human aspect is not tuned to the level need in terms of their skills and mindsets.

The human assets do not get reflected on either side in the balance sheet but ultimately the results speak volumes about this aspect which is a behind the stage performance which getting reflected in the balance sheet.

Let there be no misinterpretation on this. As we flip through the pages of achieving Corporates and Societies, we find that every page copiously speaks about the sincere, committed, competent courageous & capable manpower that has helped them to thrive the economic sandstorms of time. Today they have become a light house for those who are scrambling for a such space in the world. To decipher this more explicitly:

Technology gives an edge but the cutting edge is provided only by the Human Assets of the Organization.

“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel as said by Socratus“ It is only TRAINING which pragmatically & properly aligns the EDUCATION creating an EXPERIENCE which is an EVERLASTING asset of the individual. These assets in turn bear fruits for the society, corporates and global community as a whole.

Substation automation has acquired a major importance. The substation is basically a link between the Large receiving station and distribution centers. It has become vital in distribution of power, localization of faults, information pertaining to future requirements.

These can be described as ’artifacts of the eighties’ - the time in which many of them were developed. The communication protocols of these legacy standards were developed for serial link technology and were later adapted to run over TCP/IP-Ethernet. From the start, one of the objectives of the legacy protocols was to account for bandwidth limitations by minimizing the number of bytes sent. Many of these protocols were proprietary and thus communication between devices from different vendors were generally not possible.

The objective of this program is to train Substation Maintenance staff with practices to be followed for maintenance of substation. The substation comprises of different items like Isolators, Breakers, Current Transformers, Potential Transformers, Power transformers, Grounding switches, Relay & protection panels, Earthing practices, etc. This shall include preventive Maintenance Practices, Safety practices to be followed during Maintenance.
