NIIT on Wednesday joined hands with Microsoft to launch an IT skills enrichment programme for faculty as well as students of engineering colleges and IT educational institutions.
Spread across 25 cities, the programme Samridhi will include interactive workshops with over 100 engineering colleges and IT institutes in which both teachers and students will get an overview of cutting-edge technologies like .Net, an NIIT statement said.
"This programme will deliver quality training to students and teachers in the top engineering colleges and educational institutions across the country," Punit Vanvaria manager (business development), Microsoft Corporation India Pvt Ltd, said.
The 'free-of-cost' programme will help both the faculty and students to upgrade their current knowledge and basic development abilities, it said.
"With the launch of Samridhi, we seek to synergise our efforts with NIIT under a formal skill-based learning programme," Vanvaria said.
