Samsung India has tied up with Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises to open MSME-Samsung Digital Academy which will offer students a skill development course based on the Tizen OS platform, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
Tizen is an open and adaptable platform offering multi-application capability across a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets and TVs.
The academy aims to create a pool of trained youth who can leverage the software development and testing opportunities presented by innovative digital technologies based on the Tizen OS.
In its first phase, the academy will be rolled out across the 10 MSME-Samsung Technical Schools which have been set up following an MoU in August 2014, the statement said. It will eventually be scaled up to include 68 other MSME Technical Centres across the country, as well as IITs, IIITs, NITs, and other key institutes.
