The Hindu Business Line : Welingkar offers e-biz programme

THE growth of the IT industry has created a number of employment opportunities for technical and management graduates. And management institutions, quick to latch on to new trends in the employment space, have been extending and creating new courses to meet the huge demand from graduates aspiring to such positions.

It was to meet this demand that the Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research in the city launched its e-biz programme two years ago. According to Prof Pradeep Pendse, the "mixed orientation" of the course differentiates it from the usual management course. By mixed orientation, he refers to the fact that graduates from any stream, but with an "inclination for IT," could apply for a place on the course. As for specific job opportunities, Prof Pendse says e-biz graduates could apply for positions as analysts with software companies where they bring to bear their business basics as well as an adequate knowledge of technology aspects.

According to him, end-users such as banks, BPOs and the retail sector also required people who could visualise technology along with specific domain knowledge. Further, e-biz graduates could work as change agents in an e-business or supply chain initiative, he said.
