IIT Madras, L&T to roll out joint skilling programs

The objective is to provide students with access to industry experts and top academics who can teach concepts and fundamentals. The aim is to reach 25,000 annually under this initiative.

IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation is collaborating with L&T EduTech, the digitally driven learning initiative by Larsen & Toubro, to offer industry skilling programs for engineering and science students across India. The objective is to provide students access to industry experts and top academics who can teach concepts and fundamentals. The aim is to reach 25,000 annually under this initiative. 

The initiative is intended to bridge the gap that is required to make the students industry ready. The partnership will also offer customised programs for professionals across the industry to upskill themselves and achieve career progression.  Each of these courses will provide conceptual learning supported by engineering applications. As a result, learners will be exposed to the fundamentals of engineering along with industry-relevant knowledge derived from engineering practice. The details about the programs will be announced in their respective websites and social media accounts by the month-end. 

Sabyasachi Das, Chief Executive Officer, L&T EduTech, said, “We strive to coach our learners. Every effort is curated to make our students more employable and equip them to handle future challenges in real life. We look forward to developing individuals who would scale the heights of their profession and lead us to a better world. This partnership enables us to spread our skilling to all areas of engineering and science.” 

Speaking about the collaboration, Prof V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, said, “IIT Madras and L&T group have been jointly developing various technology and skilling programs across departments. Our flagship program ‘BIS’ (Build India Scholarship) is a great success. We are now taking a step forward with this relationship to address the skill gap between academia and industry through certification programs. These programs are carefully designed by experts from industry as well as academia with equal importance to theory and hands-on sessions. It is designed for professionals and fresh graduates in core engineering and IT/ITES for their upskilling, cross-skilling and reskilling. We are looking forward to a great partnership.”
