Munnar students gain adventure tourism skills through initiative

Kerala's 'Earn While You Learn' initiative is now providing students at Government College, Munnar, with training in adventure tourism. This program, in partnership with KITTS and KATPS, aims to prepare students for jobs in the growing tourism sector. Eighteen students, including John Nikesh and Soorya, are participating in a one-week training course. They hope to gain skills for part-time work and entrepreneurship in Munnar, a popular tourist destination. The course includes practical training in activities like rock climbing. The program is designed to address the shortage of trained professionals in adventure tourism. The Kerala Higher Education Department is funding the training, which concludes on March 19. Additional training programs in water sports are planned for the future.
