HCL Infosystems Limited, India’s premier information enabling company has announced an alliance between its ICT education venture, HCL Career Development Center and JKC. Under The alliance, students across academic streams will be offered special career programs in IT hardware, software and networking. The first campus to implement this will be Government College for Women, Begumpet, Hyderabad.

 

HCL CDCs have been launched by India’s pioneering ICT Company HCL, as an initiative to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of industry-ready ICT professionals by creating a skilled workforce and making them available to organizations deploying ICT. Today, HCL CDCs are present in more than twenty cities across India, including one in Hyderabad.

 

Announcing the association, Mr. STM Eswar, Head, HCL Career Development Centre said, “HCL CDC courses have been designed to transform young students into industry-ready professionals, who are ready to take on ICT deployment responsibilities without the need for any further training. We are glad to offer the same courses to the students of the prestigious Government College for Women, which will prepare them for a rewarding career in the IT industry.”

 

Jawahar Knowledge Centre (JKC) is a scheme, initiated by the Commissioner Of Collegiate Education, under the Government of Andhra Pradesh, for setting up labs and infrastructure in various government-run colleges in A.P.

 

JKC and HCL Infosystems will jointly select the faculty for the special courses, while HCL will subsequently train them. JKC will provide the necessary infrastructure for the courses with recommendations from HCL. Qualifying students at the end of curriculum will be awarded a certificate and given placement assistance by HCL.

 

A study by Cisco-IDC estimates that one-third of companies are not able to fill their demand for networking professionals. Also according to an estimate by E-Value, there is an estimated annual demand of around 2 lakh networking professionals in the country while the supply is limited to about 60% of the demand. The deficit is further estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21% till 2010. Keeping this scenario in mind, the program consists of two courses.
