Oracle India has signed an agreement with the Institute of Electronic Governance (IEG) of Andhra Pradesh to implement Oracle Academy’s computer science curriculum in 400 educational institutions in the State.
About 50,000 students and 1,000 faculties in the State will be exposed to Oracle technologies. Oracle Academy content and courseware will also be offered as elective modules in at least 100 institutions.
“As part of the MoU, 150 faculty members will participate in train-the-trainer courses, enabling them to use Oracle Academy infrastructure to train other teachers. Faculty training will begin in January 2014,” an Oracle press release said.
“The Oracle Academy offers a comprehensive programme that helps students gain industry relevant technology skills needed to succeed in today’s job market,” Yatin Kantak, Senior Director and Group Head (Geo-expansion) of Oracle India, said.
