AP takes up project to boost digital tech skills

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will launch Andhra Pradesh Cloud Initiative here on August 5 to make the state a preferred destination for companies looking for digital technology skills.

Miracle Software Systems, with headquarters in Detroit and establishments at Bhogapuram (Vizianagaram) and Rushikonda (Visakhapatnam), is a prominent cloud systems integrator and it will provide its resources along with few other companies to offer training to youngsters in digital technologies.

The objective is to train 1,00,000 digital technology professionals by conducting 400 hours of classes – both virtual and classroom – at various locations all over the State. The initiative will be launched here by holding a training programme for three days from August 5.

The training will enable youngsters to attain knowledge on CAMSS – cloud, analytics, mobile, social and security. All these fields have huge employment opportunities at various levels. The programme is meant to be completed in 18 months and one could get certification in six months.

The training will focus on new technologies like Node.Js based on JavaScript. NoSQL has caught the imagination of the industry due to growing use of Cloudant and goDB. “Miracle Software will teach both Cloud Native Application Programming and the Cloud Administration to make AP the most preferred destination for manpower with digital technology skills,” says Miracle Software CEO Prasad Lokam.

The AP Cloud Initiative will be implemented on a mission mode. No fees will be charged for admission into the course. Certification will be provided by Miracle Software. The company’s two locations in North Andhra Pradesh have 2,000 employees. It has plans to add 1,000 by setting up a new facility at Rushikonda here.
