ALARMING FACTS ABOUT ANIMATION TRAINING IN INDIA
Based on the information gathered as part of an in-depth survey of the gaming and animation industries, it was found that a majority of employers consider fresh candidates to be woefully under-trained and that they have to undergo further training for a minimum of 60-90 days to handle a basic domestic project. Moreover, they have to train further for at least 300 days to be able to work on a basic international project. This vacuum between the existing training practices and the real-world needs of gaming and animation companies have lead to a dearth of ready-to-work employees in the industry, further leading to companies having to spend enormous sums on, on-the-job training programs. This clearly indicates that the training currently available completely falls short of the actual skill sets that is required by the animation industry.
