Wipro, Nasscom Collaborate To Skill Indian Students In AI, IoT

Indian multinational corporation Wipro, in collaboration with the National Association of Software and Services Companies (Nasscom), will be setting up a platform to train students in emerging technologies -- artificial intelligence (AI), data science, internet of things (IoT) and cyber securities. Wipro has decided to take up the initiative under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, TalentNext, that aims to enhance the quality of engineering education in India by training college faculties and academic leaders, who will later train students. The platform, set up by Wipro and Nasscom, will be looking to train 10K students from over 20 engineering colleges in India. With this platform, the duo wants to build a talent pool of students certified by Wipro and Nasscom and provide them with greater job opportunities. Wipro's Chairman Premji, in a press release, said that the platform will bring together content and people, alongside the focus on curation and learning at one's own pace.
