Experts Call Education-Skills Integration Vital for Jewellery Industry

Experts in India’s jewellery industry want schools and colleges to teach jewellery skills.

They say artisans are very important because they make the jewellery.

However, fewer young people are choosing this work as a career.

The experts believe recognised courses and certificates could make the profession more attractive.

Students could learn both practical jewellery-making and classroom subjects.

These subjects could include metals, marketing, sales and product management.

The industry says it is willing to work with the government on training programmes.

The goal is to create more jobs and help the jewellery industry become more organised.
