Aricent CSR initiative and NASSCOM foundation have merged and launched ARISE which is a skill development program for engineering college students who are willing to join IT industry. About 3400 engineering students from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Delhi-NCR will be trained.
Last year ARISE was able to train over 2700 students from different parts of the country. The trained students are currently working in top MNCs like Amazon, Dell, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro among others. Most of the students are selected via on-campus from Tier-2 and Tier-3 engineering colleges.
The students will be given training on the basis of SDLC methodologies, training, testing; programming languages like JAVA and database languages like SQL, API creation through JDBC and product designing. Apart from improving technical skills, students also get training on communicational skills. The students will also be trained on business etiquettes, problem-solving, time management, customer orientation and interview skills which will help them at the time of job applications.
