Corporate Relationships

Our objectives to deliver industrial demand-oriented training can be achieved only in close collaboration with local enterprises. One of the pillars of this collaboration is the faith of our partners in our skill training concept and the Dual System of Training. The trainees leaving our institute are multi-skilled and have wider knowledge beyond the scope of the prescribed syllabus. AIAT has earned a good reputation in industry for its quality of trainees.

Infrastructure

AIAT’s two campuses have a favorable ambiance for learning, experimenting and for creative activities. Everyone who has ever visited admires the atmosphere of our campuses. These two campuses are located just 1.8 km apart. Each one has a different focus.

At the Irumbai campus we focus on faculties in segments of Computer Science, Electronic and Electric and Civil; at the Palmyra campus our focus of training is more on manufacturing and production.

Woman in AIAT

Only 43% of the women in the rural area of Villupuram district are literate. Many women are sole caretakers of their families. Many of them are agricultural casual labour or working as unqualified labour in factories. Women without a vocational qualification are vulnerable, but the parents invest little in their education and prefer to send them for work until they marry.

Auroville has been working for the last 25 years for the development of women under Auroville Village Action Trust. AIAT was founded by Auroville Village Action trust.
