O Oracle and Gujarat Technological University have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate Oracle Academy curriculum into the educational programs of the state’s colleges to help inspire the next-generation of technology professionals and prepare them for exciting careers in IT.
This initiative will allow GTU to build a strong foundation of technology programs to prepare 35,000 students from 140 institutions in the state, for successful IT careers, and help meet growing local demand for a highly skilled technology workforce.
As part of this MoU, 460 faculty members will undergo specialized training on the Oracle Academy curriculum that will be delivered to 35,000 students from 140 institutes in Gujarat, including the state’s engineering colleges, polytechnics and degree colleges over the next three years.
Oracle will deliver a train-the-trainer course to ramp-up 100 faculty members as instructors through Oracle Academy’s Introduction to Computer Science program.
Subsequently, select GTU institutions will be offered the Oracle Academy Advanced Computer Science Program that offers access to world-class software, Java development environments, faculty training, curriculum, support for Computer Science clubs, certification preparation, and more − all designed to help students increase the relevance of their academic programs and easily expand their course offerings.
With this, students from GTU colleges will have an opportunity to gain first-class IT skills, which can help them prepare for careers in exciting fields such as computer engineering, application development, web development, IT consulting, systems integration, database design/administration, IT product management, IT product marketing, technical support, and more.
