ICT Academy is recently endorsed and recommended by NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India Aayog), the National Planning body of Government of India as one of the unique organization for dissemination and replication, which is aligned to the Skill India Vision of the Government of India.
M Sivakumar, CEO, ICT Academy, said: “The Telangana government has taken the corporate social responsibility route for development work and job creation in the state. The Academy would give faculty members and students in Telangana more exposure to the current trends and technologies in the IT industry.
This will help students gain a better understanding about the types of career paths and jobs that are available to them. To achieve the target, we are planning to deploy around 30 more instructors of our academy, who will be imparting knowledge to the faculty of each member institution of the state with after-class-hours training programmes of about 40 hours a week and spanning across one year.”
