India, 17th September 2021: Indian EdTech company, SmartBridge, announced a project-based learning initiative in collaboration with IBM Global University Programs. The unique initiative seeks at upskilling thousands of Indian students in emerging technologies.
Important Announcement – EasyShiksha has now started Online Internship Program “Ab India Sikhega Ghar Se”
The initiative includes access to IBM academic initiative, which provides no-charge e-learning courses, digital skill badges and software tools. Students will be provided with instructor-led online boot camps, expert mentoring and access to the SmartInternz platform for project development.
According to a McKinsey report, India is estimated to have 650-700 million smartphones as the number of internet users will cross 800 million by 2023. Concurrently, the country’s digital economy has the potential to create 60-65 million jobs by 2025. The report also finds that India’s digital surge is well underway on the consumer side, even as its businesses show uneven adoption. It is critical, then, that India’s digital leap matches with growth in data literacy, ensuring that millions of users are not left vulnerable.
As data literacy is becoming one of the biggest priorities in the country, SmartBridge, with a proven track record of over five years in upskilling the next-gen talent pool, collaborates with IBM to an initiative that intends to provide data analytics abilities to MBA / BBA / MCA / BCA / Mpharma / Bpharma / MSc / BSc. / Bcom / Mtech / Btech / BE students.
