IEEE, the world's largest professional organisation advancing technologyfor humanity, signed an agreement with the Common Services Centers (CSC), an initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) to help upskill a wider base of learners across the country in core technologies through its Blended Learning Program (BLP) certificate programs.
Under this agreement, IEEE will work through CSCs across the country to train the young professionals in skills that align with the Digital India initiative of the Government of India, which in turn will create jobs in the emerging fields of building/managing data networks, Internet of Things (IoT) and help connect the nation digitally. "The aim of this agreement is to jointly create jobs and bridge the digital divide", said Harish Mysore, Senior Director IEEE India Operations.
CEO, CSC Dr. Dinesh Tyagi said, "Through this partnership with IEEE we look to strengthen our offering in the eLearning space for learners across the country, who will all benefit from our last mile reach. With the skills attained through these programs we expect that the learners will be able to improve their chances of getting hired in the respective new age domains of technology." Common Services Centers (CSCs) are a strategic cornerstone of the Digital India programme.
