ELGi Equipment, a leading air-compressor manufacturer, partnered with Nasscom's FutureSkills Prime initiative to train 1,000 of its employees and equip them with basic digital skills, according to a company release.
FutureSkills Prime is a skilling programme focussed on emerging technologies, and is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Nasscom and the IT industry.
Foundational digital skills
With its partnership with FutureSkills, ELGi aims to equip its employees with a set of foundational digital skills that will enable them to operate in a digital environment, help them to continually adapt to new ways of working, and add value beyond what can be done by automated systems and intelligent machines, the release added.
"Be it customers or employees, or investors, digitisation can substantially and significantly enhance the experience. This has to be architected by our people and the starting point is to imagine opportunities through the lens of digital technologies. To enable each employee in our organisation to do this, it is imperative that they have a foundational knowledge of the various digital technologies," said Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director, ELGi.
