The Institute of Gems & Jewellery (IGJ), which is affiliated with the Gem & Jewellery Skill Council of India, has announced expansion plans, especially in the GCC market in its 10th year of operations to equip professionals in the burgeoning jewellery industry.
Founded by Safa Group, a leading brand in the luxury life-style segment, IGJ has so far trained over 12,000 professionals and placed them in global markets. IGJ is emerging as a premier trainer and innovation hub across the country, said K.T.M.A. Salam, chairman of the group.
The company has taken measures to address the skill gap in the gem and jewellery industry in line with the government’s National Education Policy and skilling mission. It has recently signed an MoU with the Saudi Gold Precious Metal Association to offer technical training for the youth in Saudi Arabia to equip them for the ever-evolving job market of the gem and jewellery industry.
The institute is also launching a jewellery start-up incubator to empower entrepreneurs with resources and guidance and an innovative e-learning platform for jewellery courses.
