Qlik Academic Program and ICT Academy's engagement has been very fruitful over the years. Various initiatives have been undertaken and successfully accomplished, benefitting the academic community in India.
ICT Academy is a non profit institution based in Chennai an initiative of the Government of India in collaboration with the state Governments and Industries. They work on various initiatives with their goal of skilling students and educators on new technologies and making them job ready. Besides their home state of Tamil Nadu, they have a presence in many States in India, including Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh etc.
In the last 13 years, ICT Academy has strived on every aspect to provide a holistic service to every stakeholder of the education ecosystem in developing the next generation of talent pool in India to make them industry ready employees, innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders.
Through its various initiatives, ICT Academy has been part of strengthening the India’s four important visions on Skill India, Digital India, Startup India and Make in India. ( reference: https://ictacademy.in/)
With the Qlik Academic Program, the relationship with ICT Academy has been very active during their annual campaign, called Learnathon which opens the doors for students and faculties to get trained on various technologies in a time bound manner. During this campaign, over 1.5 lakh students potentially get trained on new technologies through the learning and academic platforms of vendors like Qlik.
This year too, Learnathon has been planned in August and September and will see many students getting skilled and ready for the job market. We are hoping many students are onboarded with the skills required in data analytics with the Qlik Academic Program's latest offerings. They have an opportunity to get trained on Qlik Sense, one of the in-demand data analytics software and also get qualified and certified on the courses offered under this program. Over 3500 colleges and university students have already benefitted from this program.
