The Meghalaya State Skill Development Society (MSSD) launched an exclusive programme for engineering and management students to equip them with digital skills in Enterprise Resource Planning using the SAP platform.
About 300 students from Meghalaya will benefit from the first-of-its-kind training, which is also the first in the Northeast.
The programme in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) training will be for students in the final year of their undergraduate management programme and technical disciplines. The training will also enhance the digital skills of B. Tech, MCA, and MBA students. Along similar lines, this initiative will address the need to improve the Employability Index of students and the rapidly growing industrial demands across the globe to create a sustainable and financially independent workforce.
TimesPro, a leading Higher EdTech platform, will facilitate the training of the first batch of learners in Shillong and be replicated across different regions of the state.
According to a statement, the initiative will improve the employability index of students and address the rapidly growing industrial demands across the globe. It will benefit the students to bridge the skill-employability divide and gain immensely with new-age skills to enhance their career prospects. The students will be capable of programming and designing front-end and back-end tools to run a business and help solve the scarcity of technical professionals in the ERP sector of India, it said.
Speaking at the launch of the programme, MSSDS CEO Vijay Kumar said providing students with cutting-edge skills is essential for sustainable growth and development of our region and hoped that through such initiatives lives will be transformed in the region.
Senior Vice President & Chief Partnership & Growth Officer, TimesPro, Parikshit Markanday said through this project, the youth of Meghalaya will be exposed for the first time to high-end ERP training and utilise it to run an entire business. It will lead to several students turning entrepreneurs and creating a sustainable and financially independent workforce, he said.
