The BridgeIT India Program seeks to bridge the skills gap between engineering/ technical graduates and the needs of IT employers in India.
EMC, the world leader in information infrastructure solutions, announced that its India Center of Excellence and Junior Achievement (JA) India, a not-for-profit organization, launched the first phase of the BridgeIT India Program in partnership with four Bangalore colleges. The BridgeIT India Program seeks to bridge the skills gap between engineering/ technical graduates and the needs of IT employers in India.
The BridgeIT India Program is a joint initiative between EMC and Junior Achievement India, and seeks to increase the employability of Indian engineering students by providing them with an operational understanding of what to expect at an IT organization, and how to contribute from the first day on the job. The program also saves employers from having to create lengthy and expensive orientation programs for new hires. The program involves volunteers from EMC India Center of Excellence engaging with engineering students aspiring for a career in the Indian IT industry.
In the first phase of the program, agreements have been reached with four engineering/ technical colleges that are striving to establish themselves as leading technology institutions in Bangalore. They include:
- Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Yelahanka
- Garden City College, KR Puram
- Global Academy of Technology, Rajarajeshwari Nagar
- SJB Institute of Technology, Kengeri.
