FOCUS AREAS
Promotion of Education
Promoting primary and secondary education by mentoring a group of students from small schools in the vicinity of our Kolkata office, having planned interactions with them, and igniting the fire of ‘I CAN’ in young minds with the objective of reducing the drop-out rate of students before the secondary level.
Employability and skill advancement
Imparting practical training to engineering, computer science and post graduate students through its internship programs. A recurring concern that we have heard at multiple industry events is the lack of experienced professionals at entry level. The challenge is that freshers from various universities and institutes have the theoretical knowledge but they lack the skill set required for high pressure and competitive work environment. Hence we initiated our internship program to assist fresh graduates and engineers to gain hands-on practical training in a professional setting so as to prepare them for the tough road ahead.
Employee Volunteer Programmes
