The International Gemological Institute (IGI) has collaborated with the Gems and Jewelry Skill Council of India (GJSCI) with the intent to provide its courses to manufacturers and retailers in Mumbai and Surat, at a low cost. GJSCI is an affiliate of the Indian government. Mumbai and Surat are the diamond trading hubs of the country.
Through this tie-up IGI aims to fulfill the need for professional jewellery training services in India.
IGI School of Gemology’s Polished Diamond and Jewelry Design courses are those that are being offered at a nominal rate.
The IGI noted that the Indian gem and jewellery industry is growing rapidly, and as such its courses aim to build further skilled workforce to strengthen this growth.
