Wipro Talent Next Digital Skills Readiness Program and Certification

To train and certify the faculty members of the institution by Wipro in new-age digital skills. In turn, the trained staff members will impart necessary training to the students on the Wipro Ltd. platform for digital skills and certification.

The industry needs well-trained student graduates who can start working on projects without any training that needs to be imparted to a fresher.

The Institution approached Wipro Ltd. to impart necessary new-age skills to our faculty members which in turn our staff members replicate the same training module to train the students and certify the same. The institution deputed five faculty members for training at the Wipro campus in the month of January 2020. They were rigorously trained by Wipro Trainers and all the five faculty members were certified by Wipro Ltd. Namely Digital Skills Readiness Program and Certification. Based on the performance of the faculty where 100% of the faculty were certified, Wipro decided to extend the same kind of training on the Wipro platform for Digital Skills Readiness Program and Certification. The second half of the academic year 2019-20 was the most challenging year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic the staff members enrolled 311 3rd year engineering students across three engineering programs namely, Computer Science & Engg., Electronics & Communications Engg. & Electrical & Electronics Engg. The entire program was rolled out using Microsoft Teams and Students overwhelmingly attended the program.

229 students out of 311 were certified by the Wipro under the Digital Skills Readiness Program and Certification. Out of 229 students, 150+ students were recruited by top-notch companies namely Cognizant, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Sonata, Integra &, etc.

The initial plan was to roll out the program on an offline mode in February -2020. But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty had to transition towards the online mode. Initially, students expressed the effectiveness of the online but the issues were resolved by planning the training in a more effective manner. Students were required to purchase or borrow laptops to impart this particular training on the Wipro Platform.

This program has created tremendous impact and students were capable of clearing campus interview with ease and this has resulted in good number of placements.
