WOMEN TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM
About the Project
Empowering women through education is indispensable for achieving growth and advancing development in any country. In this context, skill development training programs will play a crucial role. When women learn a new skill, it develops their confidence, creates an income, and develops self-esteem in the eyes of their families and society. The skill training enables women to enter the workforce and become more independent.
In this age of technology, the workforce is constantly evolving for a sustainable career in the industry. Since industry expectations keep changing, equipping oneself with domain-specific technical skills has become essential for new portfolios in the job market.
To develop India’s graduating women as skilled and job-ready resources, ICT Academy, in association with Capgemini, organizes the Women Transformation Program to train women students of engineering institutions in advanced IT skills. This program aims to bridge the need of aspirants deprived of opportunities due to financial constraints and those who cannot access new economy jobs.
