It was founded by educational leaders with the aim of equipping students with the practical skills and industry knowledge required to thrive in various sectors such as engineering, healthcare, hospitality, business, and IT.
Early Years and Expansion of TVET Programs
In its early years, FTU focused on offering foundational vocational courses tailored to industry needs.

As demand for specialized skills grew, FTU expanded its program offerings to include advanced diplomas, professional certifications, and skills-based qualifications in a variety of industries.
One of the key developments in FTU’s history is its embrace of digital transformation, which was championed by key figures such as Prof. Dr. Marappan Raman. The institution adopted digital platforms and innovative learning methodologies to make education more accessible and flexible. This shift allowed students to engage in remote learning, e-learning modules, and hybrid training methods, providing flexibility for both students and professionals looking to upgrade their skills while working.
