The Hindu Business Line : Satyam in pact with Australian varsity to train students

SATYAM Computer Services Ltd and Victoria University (VU) of Australia have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to boost opportunities for both Victorian ICT students and businesses.

The MoU was signed in Melbourne, Victoria, in the presence of the Victorian Minister for Information and Communication Technology, Ms Marsha Thomson.

The Co-Founder and Managing Director of Satyam, Mr B. Rama Raju, in a statement said "The new alliance will enable up to ten VU students to undertake a software development internship with Satyam each year, with the company also set to annually recruit up to 20 software engineers from the university to undergo a three months training course in India and China. On successful completion of the training, the students will be allocated to projects either in Melbourne, or one of our other 46 locations around the world."

The alliance also paves the way to carry out joint research projects as well as creating the opportunity for VU to nominate Satyam executives to deliver guest lectures to ICT students on subjects that represent core competencies within the company. Ms Thomson said "the alliance will provide excellent global opportunities for Victorian ICT students that will have a direct flow-on effect to our local industry. Once again we can see the fruit of relationships built during the ICT trade mission to India in October last year."
