Adressing skill gap
“There is a big skill gap that exists between students’ perception of the skills and traits critical for employment and the actual industry requirement. Our skill centres are a vital step towards addressing the issue. Our courses are designed in such a way that they will help build a pool of skilled talent base,” said Surya Narayanan Paneer Selvam, Co-Founder, Skill-Lync.

“Today students, especially from engineering backgrounds, need to be more skilled than ever. Many young engineers have a strong theoretical base, but yet, when it comes to real world problem solving, they struggle to cope up with it. One of the basic problems that still persists is that students are taught with outdated teaching methods and have no practical industry exposure to equip themselves with the required skills. As a result, students face difficulty in getting a good job,” said the statement.
In the next phase Delhi NCR, Ahmedabad, and a few other cities in the South India will benefit from such centres. Students can enroll in Data Analytics and Data Science and Embedded Systems for EV Applications. Other programmes include Design for Crashworthiness and Analysis, Hybrid Electric Vehicle Design and Design Automation, Full Stack Web Development, and Construction Project Management.
