Our Program in India
GOAL:
The goal of our program in India is to train and certify one million jobs-seeking Indian college students in IT and/or Soft Skills via a nationwide MIITE (Million Indians IT Education) program.
RATIONALE & MISSION:
Indian employers need millions of qualified IT employees. Industry estimates indicate that only a quarter of all college graduates are employable. The MIITE project offers high-quality, affordable IT and Soft Skills online training to prospective employees nationally in high-demand certification programs, giving everyone in India an equal opportunity to get good IT and Soft Skills jobs.
HOW DOES THE MIITE PROGRAM WORK?
1. Partnership with corporations/other entities in India and U.S.: We provide complimentary IDs giving access to all 2,500+ top quality online Web-based IT/Business courses (used by global leaders such as Wipro and Lockheed Martin) to corporations/other entities, followed by proposals for providing online/blended learning training for their employees at about 30-70% savings in training costs. We then sponsor an equal number of college students in Indian colleges of interest to the employers by giving scholarships in their name, with a 100% grant.
2. Students study the course materials, use exam prep materials at MIITE centers at participating colleges, and take the final exam and receive course completion certificates from the State University of New York (SUNY), globally ranked among the top 100 universities in the world.
