Each year India produces more than 2.5 million university graduates, of which 20% are engineering majors. According to NASSCOM, only 25% of technical graduates are considered employable by the rapidly growing IT and ITeS companies. The report also states that the India’s IT sector will face a shortfall of half a million professionals by 2010. Thus there is a compelling requisite for a strong industry-academia alliance to nurture and further hone skill
development.
SAP “U-Academy” program delivered by SISPL will allow IIBS students experience the next generation SAP products & solutions and enable them to address the real world challenges as they join the corporate sector and expand the IT talent across the globe
“There is continuous demand for qualified SAP consultants across India and the globe,” said Dr. Jay Prakash Ram, Chairman, IIBS. “We have integrated a diverse curricular that simulate multiple environments of an SAP implementation, to enrich the learning effectiveness by replicating on-the job scenarios. We do believe this journey will help us create industry ready professionals to meet the growing skill-set gap that prevails in today’s work environment.”
