IT-ITeS Sector Skills Council Nasscom (SSC Nasscom), has approved and certified the alignment of curricula, developed by IEEE Computer Society, towards five industry identified job roles.
IEEE Computer Society has used the approved curricula to design its own courseware, in a bid to reduce the skills gap for Indian technology workers who are just starting their careers. Further, IEEE Computer Society has developed its own courseware and training material in pursuance of the curricula aligned to the Quality Packs (QPs) concerned, to provide the necessary training for engineers with zero-to-two years’ experience.
Sandhya Chintala, Vice President, NASSCOM and Executive Director, SSC NASCOM said: “SSC NASSCOM aims to drive, scale and sustain a powerful skill development initiative to create a skills ready workforce for the future of this industry." Angela Burgess, IEEE Computer Society Executive Director added that this partnership will provide education and training resources in furtherance of India's campaign to raise education and training levels to create a new generation.
The training will be provided by IEEE Computer Society trained and approved ‘Registered Education Providers’ (REPs) based throughout India. Those completing the courses can aim to be assessed and certified as competent in the particular QP/job role, by SSC NASSCOM, the authorized QP standard setting and certifying body under NSDC, Government of India.
