New Training Policy

Post Induction Training School (POINTS): -

The induction training program, POINTS, sets the foundation for the new scientists and facilitates their seamless integration into the main stream. The program helps them to amalgamate with the organization by understanding systems and procedures in vogue.

Mid- Career Training Augmentation (MITRA): -

After POINTS, scientists join the labs and get hands-on experience on the projects/assignments and are exposed to different kinds of challenges on ground. They are unlikely to undergo any techno-managerial training during this period and hence it is imperative to train them for higher responsibilities at this stage. It is expected that within 10 years the scientists recruited at the level of 'B' would have become 'D' with Mid-Career Training Augmentation (MITRA) to prepare them to shoulder the responsibilities of guiding juniors and advising seniors.

Senior Level Specialised Training on Essential Management Skills (STEMS): -

STEMS is for newly promoted Scientist 'G', as an in-house Executive Development Program which focuses on improvement in personality, attitude, thought process, behaviorism and techno-managerial knowledge to assume position in higher echelons in DRDO. This program has been designed to fulfill the future human capital requirements of the organization and to ensure the succession of project leaders and directors. The contents have been selected keeping in mind that the scientists have already undergone MITRA at the level of scientist 'D'. In addition, STEMS is also planned to have a one week of Foreign Component as an exposure to world class practices in area of System Development & Technology Management.

Widening Your Administrative Skills (WYAS) (For Newly Appointed Directors):-

This course is targeted to address the identified training needs of newly appointed Directors. Participation in this training programme is by nomination only.

The objective of the course is to enhance leadership capabilities to tackle new Technological & HR Challenges at strategic as well as operational level, to create leadership bandwidth to lead the organization towards realization of its vision and to acquaint the participants with the procedure of corporate functions.

With a Vision to be a centre of excellence in Management Education, ITM continuously updates and upgrades its curriculum based on the inputs from various

DRDO Lab Directors and feedback received from participants with the objective of meeting the training needs of our customers. The course contents are synergized with the training needs of DRDO fraternity.

ITM over the last 60 years made its mark by significantly contributing towards the effective deliverance of the core mandate enmeshed in the DRDO Vision for Excellence.
