NIIT and NASSCOM Sector Skills Council (SSC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), for three years, to offer enhanced training programs to students through its training campuses all across the country. The strategic alliance will offer first-of-its-kind training programs that have been designed, developed and endorsed by the industry through two initiatives- FSIT (Foundation Skills in IT) - for engineering graduates and Global Business Foundation Skills (GBFS) - for graduates of all streams.
While FSIT aims to develop foundation skills in IT, GBFS has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the BPO/KPO and the LPO industry. NIIT will leverage its on-campus delivery model - NIIT Careers Campus, designed to enhance employability skill sets of engineering graduates in particular and the overall employability of all graduates in general.
The training program has been designed by IT-ITes Sector Skills Council NASSCOM and the achievement levels are certified through the NAC and NAC-Tech assessments. The collaboration between NASSCOM's IT-ITeS Sector Skills Council (SSC) and NIIT aims to train over 1 lakh students over three years, starting with 30,000 students in the first year.
The programs - FSIT and GBFS, are of duration of 120 hours each and cover topics ranging from technology to soft skills and professional skills and project management. Most of the topics covered are applicable to multiple industries and although all students are eligible to take part in the program, it is best suited for engineering students studying in third year and final year. The industry has invested substantially in the design and development of these programs and these will be continuously updated to keep it current and relevant.
