Hyderabad: NASSCOM, Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTUH) signed deals to impart training to students for improving their employability skills.
NASSCOM is trying to support Telangana government in the initiative, aimed at helping 15,000 students from 325 colleges in the new state to make them industry- ready, its Vice-Chairman BVR Mohan Reddy said.
NASSCOM has developed ‘Qualification Packs’ (skills required for industry). Observing that there is a gap between the skill sets imparted by academic institutions to students and industry requirements, he said the ‘packs’ are aimed at bridging that gap. The JNTUH, which has agreed to be on board, would now have to re-work on the pedagogy of the teaching material to ensure that it gets aligned with these ‘Packs’, he said.
