SAP India, Microsoft to skill 60,000 women in AI, Digital Marketing, Cloud Computing
On the 12th of August, SAP and Microsoft launched TechSaksham, a collaborative skilling programme plan to encouraging women from underserved communities to pursue careers in technology. 62,000 women students will be trained in the following area such as: –
- Artificial intelligence (AI)
- Cloud computing
- Web design
- Digital marketing
To assist the professional development of faculty at participating institutes, the programme will collaborate with the AICTE Training and Learning Academy and State Collegiate Education departments. In the first year of implementation, the program plans to provide skill 1,500 teachers. Each teacher will be able to help over 50 children every year, with a total impact of up to 75,000 students.
Edunet Foundation will implement TechSaksham, which will help women with degrees in the following programme such as: –
- Sciences
- Engineering
- Computer applications
- Vocational courses
The program’s curriculum will assist students in understanding the use of technology and activity-based engagements. They will also have the chance to present their work to local business leaders and professionals.
TechSaksham will directly skill 2,000 students across India for careers in tech-related fields, assist students with internships, jobs, and micro-entrepreneurship opportunities, build capacity by training 1,500 teachers and establishing five nodal centres, and encourage students to think innovatively and collaboratively.
As we rapidly transition to a digital economy, the skills required in the future will be vastly different from those required now. Digital fluency will no longer be a competitive advantage, but rather a must for job qualification. According to Anant Maheshwari, President of Microsoft India, this necessitates a key factor in ensuring to skill India’s talent and workforce.
Professor Anil D Sahasrabudhe, Chairman of the AICTE, stated that training over 60,000 women and certifying over 1,000 women teachers will result in significant changes not just in graduate employability but also in encouraging many more students to start startup careers.
Select teachers and institutes will be picked during the first year of the programme to form a nodal centre in each target geography, which will eventually drive outreach to regional institutions and encourage students and teachers to engage in the programme.
