Dimapur, Dec. 9 : Altogether 70 persons including 40 for Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) driving and 30 persons in Hospitality received certificates for successful completion of their training at Pinnacle Skills Dimapur under Department of Under Developed Areas (DUDA) at a valedictory function held at Fair View Apartment, Khermahal, Dimapur.
Addressing the valedictory function, special guest and secretary of DUDA, Senti Ao, reminded the trainees that they were among the fortunate ones to have received training under DUDA.
Stating that DUDA is working towards socio, economic and infrastructure progress, Senti Ao called on the trained drivers to imbibe politeness and driving discipline in their daily activity. He also called on the hospitality trainees to uphold their morality with them wherever they may serve and ‘not sell their character’ while persuading them to move out of the state to explore and experience the work culture of industries.
Reiterating DUDA’s commitment in working towards the interest of Eastern and border areas, he called on the trainees to grab opportunities available and work with sincerity.
Dr. Yan Murry, Chief Executive of Pinnacle Skills, giving an overview of training, remarked that response from boys have always been encouraging. He said Pinnacle Skills in partnership with National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) could achieve 100% placement in the second year.
He reminded the trainees that the certificates which they have earned are not plain certificate but an opportunity for employment which is available in Nagaland which they have to deliver by doing justice to their earned certificates. The LMV driving trainees not only received basic driving training but were also given guidance on traffic regulation by the Dimapur traffic police.
