Bangalore: Wipro's
trust Mission 10x has tied up with the National Association of
Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) to enhance skills of
engineering graduates in IT and related sectors, the global
software major said Monday.
"The joint initiative will offer skill development programmes such
as 'foundation skills in IT' to train engineering graduates for
suitable employability in the burgeoning tech industry. Nasscom's
assessment of competence technology will be used to assess their
skills through diagnostic test and final test," Wipro human
resources vice-president Pratik Kumar said in a statement here.
About 550,000 engineering graduates pass out every year from about
3,000 engineering colleges in the country. Though India has one of
the world's largest scientific and engineering pools, the growing
demand-supply gap for skilled, industry-oriented professionals is
expected to test the limits of its manpower development
capabilities.
The programmes will support deployment of e-learning content for
faculty capability building like 'Aarambh' and promote a 'unified
learning kit' to reduce the gap between academia and industry
practices in multiple engineering disciplines.
"The industry has been investing in the skill development of
employees through in-house training programmes and certification
courses. To ensure scalability, we are working with various
government bodies, members of the academia and the IT-BPO industry
to enhance employability skills amongst its prospective
workforce," Nasscom president Som Mittal said.
Launched on Teachers' Day Sep 5 2007, the not-for-profit
Mission10x empowered over 13,000 faculty members in the innovative
learning approach.
"The programme will provide an equal opportunity to aspirants from
different parts of the country who wish to join the IT industry,"
Pratik Kumar added.
