Garware Institute of Career Education & Development realized this need in 1984 & started offering career-oriented skill based courses to students, even at under graduate level.
"œWe offer courses to highly focused and academically brilliant students, as well as suitable courses to students who do not have a great academic record. We train them to carve a career in industrial sectors," says Prof Anil V Karnik, I/c Director, GICED. The syllabus is set in such a way that the interior designing course not only equips the students with the latest design aspects but also gives them the basic knowledge about the different types of architectures. Hence, after the completion of diploma, the students are not only able to take up a career in interior designing but also in architecture. In addition to that, the institute has introduced programs in landscape design. Through this course, the institute aims at bringing people close to the nature. This is achieved year after year under the able expertise of Architect C.V. Apte who is the Course Co- ordinator of the Interior Design Programmes.The career prospects and analysis of the segments with more openings.
