Six students from the Wadeye community in Victoria, Australia graduated from India’s premier skill university Centurion University. These students have successfully completed a six-month Garment Manufacturing Skill Course under “WADEYE Training Project” at Centurion University.
The “WADEYE Training Project” is a six-month training project organized by Centurion University, to impart the technical skills required in apparel manufacturing, i.e., cutting of cloth, colour printing, surface ornamentation, among others for the participants. The aim of this program is to produce confident and capable apparel manufacturing masters who could gain suitable employment, become micro-entrepreneurs, and develop the skills to train others, creating a ripple effect in their community at Wadeye. Besides, with the skills and abilities acquired, they would also learn and understand about Indian culture and lifestyle.
Gerradine Bunduck, one of the participants, expressed her enthusiasm for the program, stating, “I have learned a lot about textile manufacturing and design here in Aussie fashion at Centurion University.”
“This kind of skill training will not only build the students’ capacity, it will build the communities’ capacity by adding new qualified professionals,” said Dr Biswajit Mishra, Pro Vice Chancellor, Centurion University.
Among others, Centurion University Vice Chancellor Prof. Supriya Pattanayak, GTET Swagatika Mohapatra, and Eve Sofia Riikonen were present on the occasion.
