Addressing the students, Vaishali said, “This industry needs young talent, and to ensure our industry is future-ready, we need education. The gem and jewelry 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 jewelry design professionals in the industry.”
