BridgeIT Employability Program

The BridgeIT Employability Program seeks to bridge the gap between engineering students and the workplace. The program sensitizes students for informed engagement in a fast integrating economy. Encouraging them to develop an operating level understanding of the workplace and their role in it, the program logically nudges students to introspect on the what, why, how, where and what next of the workplace.

EMC India Center of Excellence's mission is to empower students to understand their aspirations and unlock their potential. An unlocked and connected aspiration backed by well-developed thought framework creates the condition for holistic learning. It also contributes, in a specific manner, in redressing part of the employability gap.

Our focus for redressing the employability gap is to better prepare students for the range of roles in software industry. To this end, early 2008, EMC India Centre of Excellence partnered with Junior Achievement India (a not-for-profit organization that seeks to bridge the gap between industry and education) to develop the BridgeIT Employability Program, with following program objectives: The program's objectives are to:

Build the first connect between colleges and industry
Engage students, through industry professionals and in academic institutions setting,
- To help them develop a detailed understanding of Industry, business, organizations and roles
- To help them understand the contributions they make as a professional and therefore the expected abilities they need to possess
Offer a platform for interested students to voluntarily connect back to the industry/professional

In the pilot phase of the program, 1,000 students from Tier II and III colleges in Bangalore (and to limited extent in Chennai) participated in the classroom sessions. The next phase is to expand the program to other metros/ non-metros in Karnataka and India. This phase of the program would also deploy knowledge management tools and custom built networking platforms that allow substantially larger number of professionals, educators and student beneficiaries to engage on-demand, and from their place of choice, through a wider range of delivery channels.
