GIA India held the graduation ceremony for students of its Comprehensive CAD/CAM for Jewelry certificate program at its Mumbai campus on 20th June. The chief guest for the graduation ceremony was Vaishali Banerjee, Managing Director, Platinum Guild India Pvt. Ltd. who shared her insights on the topic, “Consumer Insights & Market Insights as a Springboard for Category Creation.”
Addressing the students, Banerjee said, “This industry needs young talent, and to ensure our industry is future-ready, we need education. The gem and jewellery industry in India is strong and has a global positioning, but we need to strive and ensure our industry grows further. GIA plays a very important role in this, and I commend the Institute’s role in ensuring skilled talent is part of the industry.”
Apoorva Deshingkar, Senior Director – Education and Market Development, GIA India, added, “We are proud of our graduating students. The GIA Comprehensive CAD/CAM for Jewelry Certificate Program is a great extension to GIA’s Jewelry Design program and can also be pursued independently. We believe that by providing the combination of manual design and CAD/CAM in India, there will be a talent pool of well-rounded jewellery design professionals in the industry.”
Isha Goyal, a GIA Comprehensive CAD/CAM for Jewelry Graduate, said, “The gem and jewelry industry always intrigued me, and I am not from the industry, so I decided to enroll in an educational program to gain understanding, and GIA was the first name that came to mind when I was looking for an institute.”
