India is home to more than 3400 engineering colleges. Several studies by NASSCOM have shown that only 25 percent of these students are employable in the IT industry. This is mostly due to constraints such as accessibility, exposure, communication skills, and orientation to the IT industry.
Spark-IT, an initiative by Infosys Foundation, endeavors to enhance the skill levels (technical and behavioral) of graduates and orient them to meet the needs of the IT industry. To achieve this, Spark-IT will extensively leverage tools, curricula, faculty, and expertise within Infosys. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between college education and requirements for a career in information technology for deserving and meritorious graduates who are at disadvantage due to their locational, educational, financial, and societal realities.
