Symantec Software Solutions, an arm of the Nasdaq-listed Symantec, a global leader in providing security, storage and systems management solutions, is now getting into skill development. As starter, it has joined hands with Meghalaya government to provide comprehensive training and create opportunities for IT-ITeS employment in the state. If this model clicks, Symantec is open to replicate the same model in other states of India with other state governments.
“We look forward to initiate such programmes with various other state governments as well,” Anand Naik, MD, sales, India & Saarc, Symantec, told Financial Chronicle. And it will not just be skill developments. In Meghalaya, for instance, on completion of the course, over 1,500 participants will be qualified for a variety of IT roles and receive relevant placement assistance through Symantec partners only.
Naik said, “IT knowledge is an important asset in the connected, technology-driven world, and the Skill Development Programme will empower the local talent in Meghalaya with world-class, outcome-oriented training and resources.” He admitted, “This is an opportunity for Symantec to not only arm Meghalaya’s youth with key technology skills they’ll need for their future career development, but also develop a savvy resource pool for the industry as a whole.”
