With changing needs of industrial and financial sectors, educational subsidiary of the Times of India group, TimesPro, is planning to introduce Digital learning as part of its curriculum.
The course curriculum is designed and curated not just to equip all the learners with the requisite knowledge but more to make them Day 1-Hour 1 ready for their respective roles, Head Acaemics (Vice President) TimesPro- ET Learning solutions, Dr Nagendra Chowdary told reporters here.
Considering the evolving Digital India policy of the government, the institution would introduce a digital-based learning course to update the students in newer technology, Chowdhary said, adding course modules and teaching methodology focused on a practical approach.
Stating that TimesPro has a strong alumni of 6,500 students and with 96 per cent placed in various banking and financial sectors, he said it was also proposed to bring in new courses in higher education.
The vision is to ensure that we provide the Indian youth with tailor-made and industry vetted educational courses that bridge the gap between the current formal education system and the industry requirements, thereby making Indian youth employable, Chowdhary said.
CEO of Park Group of Educational Institutions, Anusha Ravi, who was present to felicitate its alumni, said there should be flexibility in Indian education system.
With all the sectors such as industry, banking moving forward in tune with technology advancement, education sector was still lagging behind and this needed to be addressed, she said.
