Aspire Systems, a leading global technology services firm, has announced the launch of Shine, in collaboration with Universal Higher Education Trust, Vellore, as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.
With a focus on information technology skill development and employability, the company is looking to enable students from lower economic backgrounds, from Vellore and its surrounding districts.
The Shine initiative is a year-long programme consisting of two phases. The first phase is to be conducted at the Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) campus, and the second phase is to be held at the Aspire Systems’ Siruseri campus in Chennai.
The core focus will be on imparting programming skills to these students in order to add value to their employability in the IT sector. Additionally, training in communication and soft skills will also be taught.
Over 22 students have enrolled into this programme and the course is scheduled to begin later this month.
