Webel-Fujisoft-Vara Centre of Excellence (CoE) launches short courses on Emerging Technologies

As companies are rapidly adopting digitization, there is an enormous demand for people with expertise in emerging technologies. This has resulted in a significant gap in terms of the number of skilled people available in relation to the number required. In order to try and bridge this gap, All-India Technical Council and Universities are changing the curriculum to incorporate skills in emerging technologies with conventional technology courses. The new education policy of the Central Govt. focuses on students developing a strong foundation in skills in emerging technologies which will be in demand in the next few years.

Webel-Fujisoft-Vara Centre of Excellence (CoE), an initiative of Govt of West Bengal announced the launch of short courses on emerging technologies to make professionals more jobs ready and skilled on critical areas that are highly in demand. The courses are aimed to create awareness among engineering students and professionals about emerging technologies, and the opportunities they present for lucrative careers.

There is a huge talent pool in West Bengal, and we want the students to avail all the resources to make them industry ready. Businesses are on the lookout for people who can meet the industry’s present and future skill demands. The students will have access to world-class programmes those train them on skills and support them in finding rewarding jobs.”

The short courses provide a good foundation in emerging technologies and will help participants to understand the career opportunities that are possible after specialization. CoE plans to complete training of 400 students from more than 10 engineering colleges in West Bengal by April 2023.
