Bengaluru-based Wipro Ltd has partnered with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom) to train 10,000 students from over 20 engineering colleges in India as part of the ‘Future Skills’ platform. The first phase of the programme was rolled out on Tuesday.
“This is part of Wipro’s corporate social responsibility programme, TalentNext which aims to enhance the quality of engineering education by preparing faculty and academic leaders to train students,” Wipro said in a statement.
The programme has now been extended to students directly through Future Skills, which is a Nasscom initiative to bridge the industry-academia skill gap and help students keep pace with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, cyber security, and internet of things (IoT).
