Programs
Colleges
The now tech-driven job market is that of a dynamic one, whereas the academic infrastructure of the country is not as agile. To enhance the workforce being trained in colleges, to match the skill level demands of the industry is what our work in this domain aims to do. Positioning ourselves to reach the underserved beneficiaries, our work is towards building a relevantly skilled generation of innovators.

Participants’ comments
“Self-paced, well-designed courses, customised learnpaths– these are the reasons that make Skillsbuild platform work well for me. The factor that ties all of this together to really help us apply the concepts we learn about data science and analytics is the mentoring sessions and the innovation camp. The weather predicting model we created as part of the camps using real time data helped us to learn the ropes hands-on.”

3. Code Unnati
While engineering colleges in India churn out lakhs of graduates into the workforce, the ecosystem is yet to adapt to the rapid transition of the job market to IR 4.0 skills. As a robust leg-up to the system, SAP has started this program for tier 2 and tier 3 colleges for the students from the economically weaker section of the society.
The 120+ hour program equips the colleges with SAP centers of excellence to enable experential learning of deeptech. With elements such as capstone projects, mentoring, and capacity building of faculty, the program uses a sustainable hand-on approach towards levelling up the skills of underserved students, and establishing a pathway to industry.
The program is into its first year of implementation with Edunet Foundation.
