Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the city of pearls, Hyderabad in the State of Telangana, India. The occasion was to visit two Qlik Academic Partner institutions, Anurag University and Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology ( VJIT).But first, why is Hyderabad called the city of pearls? Reason is that this cityhad once flourished as a global center for trade of rare diamonds, emeralds as well as natural pearls. Hyderabad has been supplying the finest pearl jewelryto India and the rest of the world for nearly 400 years! Today, besides its glorious history, Hyderabad is also a hub for many global IT companies.Anurag Group of Institutions organised a student interaction with their Engineering students and along with that an interaction with the educators including the Head of Department of Computer Science Engineering, Dr. Rawat. An audience of about 60 students and 10 educators listened with great attention on the Qlik Academic Program and Career in Data Analytics.VJIT is another strong partner of the Qlik Academic Program with many firsts to its credit. The first Centre of Excellence powered by Qlik was set up here and they have been regularly engaging with us, with students showing interest in the academic program and getting qualified learning from the pathways of Business Analyst and Data Architect. During my interaction with students at VJIT, the track winners of the Datathon Challenge organised by us we were joined in by Sri Teja Makam and Vinay Kumar Kandula who are pursuing their MS in the US. They spoke about how the academic program has helped them in their career and their experience participating in the Datathon. Students were quite encouraged to hear their alma mater speak and how they are advancing in their careers. The MOU between VJIT and the Qlik Academic Program was renewed to extend this relationship for the next few years, formally.

The UK tech talent shortage continues to hold back the growth of the tech industry. Digital skills are needed to fill vacancies and help candidates grow their careers.
At XJTLU China, during a summer school boot camp, participants worked on a business scenario to prepare for a business case to develop and challenge their assumptions at different stages. Participants were divided into project teams and discussed those assumptions in virtual rooms. Project teams collected, interpreted, analyzed various forms of internal and external data, and presented their results in the form of digital artifacts (visual dashboards of performance indicators) to a Judge Panel using the Technological Authoring Tool Application (Qlik Sense).To read more about this, visit:https://www.learningmall.cn/en/homepage/ceie/project-based-learning-on-learning-mall-on-data-analytics-using-qlik-sense-(technological-authoring-tool-application).htmlFor access to the Qlik Academic Program's free resources including training and certifications visit: qlik.com/academicprogram
