Cyient to promote innovation and skill enhancement for youth with TASK

Cyient has signed an MoU with the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) to collaborate on skill-building and improve employability for engineering students by imparting technical and soft skills trainings for the students. The primary objective of this industry-academia partnership is to leverage Cyient’s engineering expertise to create a pool of skilled workforce in Telangana that is equipped to meet industry needs.

The two organizations will work toward setting up a “train-and-hire” model for fourth-year students of mechanical, electrical, electronics, and aeronautical domains in TASK registered engineering colleges. Cyient has designed various training modules across these domains to help students get practical industry exposure. The partnership with TASK is aligned with Cyient’s strong focus on skill development and opens up significant opportunities for creating value in the field of engineering education for students and faculty.

Speaking on the occasion, Ramanand Puttige, Vice-President, HR at Cyient, said, “We are excited about this partnership. Industries are facing a challenge in getting skilled engineers, and this tie-up with TASK is part of our ongoing endeavour to promote the technical and leadership skill enhancement for a future-ready workforce. We are confident that our industry-relevant courses, designed by experts, along with a world-class curriculum for upskilling the faculty will provide the much-needed fillip to the youth of Telangana and help the industry get access to a ready talent pool.”

Speaking on the occasion, Sujiv Nair, CEO, Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK), said, “We strongly believe that the industry-academia partnership bridges gaps and ensures students stay relevant to the ever-changing requirements of the digital world. This partnership with Cyient not only offers unique industry-relevant skilling and placement opportunities for students, while the specially curated Faculty Development Programs will also enrich the skill sets of the faculty on emerging technologies.”
