The second element of the proposed course curriculum is the continuous assessment process throughout the training program. Cost is the keyword in today’s footwear business. Proper utilization and savings on the material is skillful expertise since material prices are escalating year by year. As we know 60% of the cost of a shoe is leather. Leather being a natural material possesses a lot of defects. Leather is also categorized based on these defects like A, B, C grade etc. So for saving this cost, the clicker has to interlock the patterns efficiently by considering the line of tightness and stretchiness. He has to cut the pairs as per the norms given to him. So the main objective of this program is to train learners on different methods of cutting, nesting of components, grading & costing etc.

The Objective of the training program in footwear is to develop the capacities of learners to understand technical aspects of material cutting. The candidate will have basic knowledge about the Clicking department and operations. The skillset requirement covering relevant knowledge components are addressed in the course curriculum. The curriculum has been designed on the principle of KSA (Knowledge – Skill- Attitude) based learning emphasizing the mastering of the skills & knowledge through the self-assessment process.
