Shuttering Carpenter (3-Month Course) 1
TRAINING OBJECTIVES:
This course aims to develop the skillful work force in the field of concrete
construction as construction industry is facing a lot of difficulties for doing the
shuttering works in the construction field without the trained man power. The
work of shuttering carpenter is of paramount important in the field of concrete
constructions in the specific areas/works. It is one of the major areas of skills,
which is still ignored for formal training. Presently they learn the skill, from senior
artisan by working with them for many years as helper. This course covers all the
related topics of studies & practicals enabling the job market to have skillful
persons resulting into better results for timely & safely completion of the civil
works specially for concrete construction.
