The Government of Gujarat's Commissionerate of Technical Education (CTE) and IBM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance technical and professional education in the state. This collaboration emphasizes the use of IBM SkillsBuild to empower learners in Gujarat with vital skills in emerging technologies, including AI (including generative AI), cybersecurity, hybrid cloud, and workplace skills for professional development.

In line with IBM's pledge to skill 30 million people by 2023 and train 2 million learners in AI by the end of 2026, the partnership with CTE Gujarat plays a crucial role in bridging the current skills gap in the global workforce. This collaboration aims to build a strong education and skilling ecosystem in India, enabling individuals as critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and next-generation innovators. 

IBM, through the provision of technological resources and expertise, seeks to empower youth and job seekers, facilitating the acquisition of essential technical and professional skills necessary for entering or re-entering the workforce. IBM recently launched the IBM Consulting Client Innovation Centre (CIC) in Gandhinagar, highlighting focal technology areas like generative artificial intelligence (AI), hybrid cloud, and cybersecurity.

Speaking about the collaboration with IBM, Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said, “Driven by the Government of Gujarat’s commitment to fostering opportunities and nurturing a dynamic workforce, Gujarat has emerged as a leader not only in business and entrepreneurship but also in the educational landscape. Collaborations, such as the one with IBM, will further enhance the state’s technical education excellence, crucial in shaping a skilled future-ready workforce in emerging technologies like AI and hybrid cloud.”
