EMC has tied up with 27 engineering colleges in Pune to help prepare students for careers in the field of information storage and management.
Through its Academic Alliance initiative, EMC will offer students ‘open’ curriculum-based education on topics like cloud computing, big data analytics and information storage and management, a statement said.
The rapid growth in digital information is spurring the demand for trained software storage professionals.
As per an EMC Zinnov study, private cloud alone in India is expected to create 1 lakh jobs by 2015 from 10,000 in 2011 and the demand is unlikely to be met.
The EMC Academic Alliance initiative aims to bridge the skill-gap in a rapidly changing IT environment and prepare students for better employability. Over 120,000 students have been educated till date under it.
Krishna Kant, Head, EMC Academic Alliance - South Asia & Russia, said, “The key issue for the sector is the lack of adequately trained personnel. At EMC, it has been our endeavour globally to create an industry-ready talent pool and help students gain an edge in an extremely competitive and ever-changing IT environment. Our alliance with the engineering colleges in Pune is in line with our endeavour and testament to our commitment to the local market.”
The colleges associated with this alliance include Sinhgad College of Engineering, MIT College of Engineering, Sinhgad Institute of Technology and Science, D.Y.Patil Institute of Engineering & Technology and Maharashtra Institute of Technology.
