Before check out out the list of B.Voc. colleges in Bengaluru, let us take a quick look at the present status of vocational education in Bengaluru and Karnataka State.
Vocational Education in Karnataka
In Karnataka, one will be able to find different types of vocational training programs. What is a vocational training program, some of you may ask. In simple terms, vocational training programs are skill development courses.
In order to thrive in any profession, one must possess skills/knowledge which are relevant to that particular sector. For example, if you want to become an automobile mechanic, you must possess adequate knowledge (about automobiles, relevant tools, parts, etc) and a set of skills.
Similarly, if you want to become a mobile app developer, you must possess coding skills and computer application knowledge. In India (and thus Karnataka) the general workforce is not highly skilled! They don’t possess industry-specific skills.
In order to bridge this skill gap in our country, several skill-development initiatives have been undertaken by State Governments, Central Governments,s and NGOs. As part of these initiatives, several vocational training programs have been introduced in Karnataka.
Some of the notable course formats are –
- Certification programs
- Diploma programs
- B.Voc. programs
- M.Voc. programs
Among the above-mentioned programs, B.Voc. and M.Voc. have become quite popular among students in Karnataka. B.Voc. stands for Bachelor of Vocation. M.Voc. stands for Master of Vocation.
Let us take a quick look at B.Voc. course –
