In today’s fast-evolving technological landscape, skill development plays a crucial role in preparing students for industry demands. Traditional learning approaches often lack practical exposure, creating a gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. To address this, the Gurugulam Skill Training Process offers structured hands-on training in various technical domains such as assembly and dismantling, electrical installations, electronics, PLC programming, and advanced embedded system design. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the training process by evaluating student participation, skill acquisition, and assessment performance. The methodology involves structured training sessions, real-time assessments, and documentation through process plans, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and STEM documents. Data was collected through attendance records, individual assessments, and feedback reports. Results indicate a significant improvement in student engagement and technical competency, with an average skill acquisition rate of 85% across all training modules. The structured approach has enhanced problem- solving skills and adaptability to real-world applications. The study concludes that the Gurugulam Skill Training Process effectively bridges the gap between academic learning and industry requirements, equipping students with practical knowledge for career readiness. Future enhancements could include AI-driven personalized training modules and real-time performance analytics to optimize learning outcomes.
