To build scalable, quality-assured and transferable teacher-development systems for school vocational education.

• Establish systems for trainer selection, assessment, observation, calibration, feedback and refresher learning.

• Build post-training support through mentoring, teacher communities and refresher learning.
• Work with NCERT, SCERTs, DIETs, state education departments, universities and other relevant institutions.
• Adapt training models to different curricula, languages and state contexts.
• Capture field experience and convert it into reusable training models, standards and resources.
• Work with Quality Assurance teams to ensure that capability—not attendance—is the measure of successful training.
