Sir i operate the kuka robot since 4 years and also i have made some programs with teaching only . I have done short term kuka training basic level. What can i do for further better opportunity?? To boost my skills and increase my pay??
What can i do for better placements?

education is the best and safest way to gain skills, increase income and ensure employability. but a lot depends on personal abilities and previous education.
while operating robot and teaching points is valuable, it is still only an entry level skill. is is taught in an easy two or four day course for which there are no prerequisites.
compare that to a college or university degree that takes years to complete.
the more you know, the more valuable you become.
if you are inclined with working with robots without taking higher education, perhaps consider commonly needed skills like:
robot programming without limitation to inline forms (structures, arrays, passing parameters, interrupts, usertech, EKI...).
configuring fieldbus, external axis etc.
creating and commissioning applications with vision system, conveyors tracking, robot team
creating programs offline using simulation
cutting and metal joining/welding (plasma, arc, spot, friction, laser...).

Thank you sir. Can you guide me from where i can get( robot programming without limitation to inline forms (structures, arrays, passing parameters, interrupts, usertech, EKI...). That skills. Is robot forum teach me that skills or another way? I am pursuing c , c++ is it worthy??

I have a small factory with a handful of welding robots, 25 years +, and recently a paint robot.
I would say, if you want a career in robots, its all about application and integration, not necessarily being a brilliant programmer.
Robots are great for doing repetitive tasks, but you have to have the vision as to how it fits in your factory, how it fits in the overall scheme. Most bots do simple repetitive tasks requiring straight forward programs. Anything complicated can usually be solved after a day with your head in the manual! or a post on here...
And with trouble shooting..... how many times has someone said "robots not working".... I say whats wrong... answer is " don't know, it won't run"!
Your ability to understand the system, interpret the symptoms to know what the problem is, is invaluable. In my experience, its seldom the actual robot arm itself is at fault, its usually some periphery equipment around it, or the integration.
In my opinion, Your CV needs to show you see the bigger picture
Unless I was a big factory with loads of long established robots,

I would recommend KUKA training. Check your local KUKA College for availability of courses. Not all locations offer all courses.
Programming1 - covers basics such as terminology, the most basic commissioning (mastering, tool, load and base configuration, gripper Tech) and ILF programming, advance run etc. end of course also touches on variable declarations and EXT mode setup
Programming 2 - covers things a bit deeper, in depth variable declarations, writing own routines and passing parameters, message programming, motion programming without ILFs, interrupts etc.
Programming 3 - supped-up Programming2. includes home recovery. this course is offered only rarely.
KUKA may also offer various other courses and workshops (VisionTech, Electrical servicing, Mechanical servicing, Fieldbus, System integrator courses etc.)
Is robot forum teach me that skills or another way?
absolutely not. forum is not a substitute for formal training or education. forum is platform where people working in the industry get to exchange ideas and tips.
That is like when you are driving and ask someone for directions. the person helping you may point you in the right direction but will not explain how internal car works, tech you what the traffic rules are or issue to you a drivers license.
Forum is there to share experience and point people in the right direction. That's about it...
I am pursuing c , c++ is it worthy??
it depends on your interests and abilities. everything can be valuable if you can put it to good use. i would say learning other programming languages is a great because they allow one to do other things that can complement what you already know. even if you don't use it often, it elevates your awareness and abilities. i lost count on how many programming languages i was working with. these days i only use maybe 5 of them regularly.
i no longer use c or c++ much but ... that is only because i am busy and trying to have fun too (you only get one shot at life ). but i would love to get back to circuit and embedded world and make few products that i have an idea for.
