FAQs
How reliable is the Industry Demand Data for Human Resources ? Can the local Industry ensure jobs for the “finished products” from this IPSAEP? How will the Universities be able to support this extensive training program by their
already overloaded Teachers? What is the best model for the TOT program? Is the Government really serious into this initiative without its own management control?
