Students will be able to use an online platform that includes discussion boards, guest lectures, projects, competitions, and course materials to advance their knowledge and abilities. The IBM effort has helped students in numerous nations upskill over the past 13 years.
“There is a strong demand, across the industry, for IT professionals to be deeply skilled in in-demand technologies,” said IBM’s ICE South Asia Director Vithal Madyalkar. “The Innovation Centre for Education initiative from IBM will equip the students at the UOW India campus to adapt to the dynamics in the industry and drive technology and business innovation. The engagement model will ensure deep theoretical knowledge and practical hands-on exposure to the students, coupled with broad-based industry alignment, interaction, talent discoverability, and excellence in their professional practice.
