Education minister Ashish Sood on Thursday attended a vocational placement drive at Sarvodaya Vidyalaya in Rohini. The initiative aimed to provide job opportunities to students from Delhi govt schools who completed vocational training along with their Class XII education in the academic year 2024-25 or earlier.
More than 30 reputed companies participated in the placement drive organised by the Directorate of Education. Sood held discussions with representatives of these companies, seeking clarity on the selection process, job roles, salaries and facilities. He also spoke with the students about their career goals.
Parents, school staff and representatives from various industries were present at the event. “Over the next five years we plan to implement transformative changes in govt schools at multiple levels,” the minister said.
Sood emphasised that the placement drive was not just a recruitment event but also a reflection of how far vocational education has advanced in Delhi’s school system. “In the last academic year, more than 4.2 lakh students across govt schools opted for vocational courses in different trades and careers.
