Empowerment for Women in Welding Inspection
TWI India conducted the first ever CSWIP
Visual Welding Inspector course (3.0) exclusively
for women in Coimbatore, as part of the
South East Asia Skills Enhancement Programme
(SEASEP)
Women are breaking away from the conservative
norms to develop their careers in new ways.
This can be seen by the number of women
who are now excelling in fields that were
once reserved for men, such as welding,
inspection, manufacturing, QA/QC, and construction.
Despite the challenges attached to these
type of roles, there are more women than
ever aspiring to enter the welding industry
and other engineering fields.
TWI India held a CSWIP Visual Welding Inspection
(3.0) programme for women at Coimbatore
Institute of Technology, Coimbatore on the
30 and 31 January 2020. 26 women took prat
in the programme which was introduced by
Mr P Murali, Deputy Director of Boilers
at Tamil Nadu State Government, Coimbatore.
He shared his own experiences and provided
a motivational speech for the trainees before
the programme began, delivered by Mr Jayakumar
Johnson, Manager of Welding and Painting
at TWI India.
The two-day programme generated a great deal
of interest among the participants, which
was demonstrated through the lively discussions
that took place during the course.
TWI India would like to thank Dr. G. Suganya
Priyadharshini for successfully organising
this inaugural event.
