CHENNAI: CREDAI Chennai and Central Polytechnic College in Taramani, have formally signed an MoU to establish a Centre of Excellence for Construction Practices, an initiative designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and the practical requirements of the real estate and construction industry.

A key component of the collaboration is the six-month internship program at CREDAI member project sites, enabling students to gain real-world exposure, hands-on learning, and professional capabilities essential for supervisory roles on active construction sites.
“The establishment of the Centre of Excellence marks a pivotal step in aligning academic learning with real-world construction practices. Through this collaboration, we aim to develop industry-ready Construction Site Supervisors equipped with the technical skills and practical exposure needed to lead on the ground. This is a milestone in strengthening Tamil Nadu’s talent ecosystem.” A. Mohamed Ali, president of CREDAI Chennai, said.
