In a fast-changing world where job markets are becoming increasingly competitive and dynamic, the traditional college degree is no longer the only pathway to success. Today, skill-based education backed by government certification is emerging as a powerful tool to build careers, especially for young job seekers and working professionals alike.
At Iris College of Educare, Kuttyadi, we’ve seen firsthand how government-certified skill courses — especially those under Rutronix — are transforming the lives of students by making them job-ready, confident, and competent in their chosen fields.
Here’s why these courses matter more now than ever before.
1. Industry-Relevant Training
Government-certified skill programs are designed in collaboration with industry experts and focus on real-world applications rather than just theory.
For example
Courses like Office Automation, Computer Hardware & Networking, and Tally with GST directly prepare students for roles in offices, IT firms, accounting firms, and more.
At Iris, our curriculum is updated regularly to match the latest job market requirements — so our students always stay ahead.
2. Recognition & Credibility
When your certificate is backed by the Government of Kerala or Rutronix, it carries weight. Employers recognize the credibility of certified programs, making it easier for candidates to get shortlisted for jobs.
These certificates are also valid for government job applications, where computer literacy and skill qualifications are often mandatory.
3. Short Duration, Long-Term Benefits
Unlike a 3-year degree or 2-year diploma, most skill courses are short-term (3 to 12 months) — yet they offer lifelong value.
This makes them ideal for:
- College students looking to boost their resume
- Job seekers wanting quick employment
- Homemakers or career returnees re-entering the workforce
At Iris, many of our students complete a course and secure a job within 6–8 months.
4. Affordable Education with High ROI
Government-recognized skill training is affordable and accessible, especially compared to private diploma or degree programs.
The return on investment (ROI) is high — you invest a small amount and gain a skill that opens doors to multiple job opportunities.
Many Iris students land entry-level roles in offices, tech support, or digital marketing with starting salaries that quickly cover the cost of their course.
5. Better Job Opportunities
Skill-certified candidates have an edge over those with only theoretical knowledge. Employers prefer candidates who can “do the job” from day one.
In fields like:
- Data Entry
- IT Support
- Account Management
- Graphic Design
- Digital Literacy
Certified students often get hired faster and are trusted with more responsibilities.
