1. Courses in IT which have Huge Employment Potential/career Prospects
By: Mr. Aditya Malik, CEO Talent Edge
Information Technology Industry Overview:
The Indian IT industry had a phenomenal success over the past decade contributing massively to India’s
global aspiration and growth story. The industry has grown from $4-Bn export revenue in 1998 to $59-Bn
in 2011 and employing over two million workforce has created an unparalleled impact on Indian
knowledge economy. In FY2012 the industry is poised to reach a significant milestone – aggregate
revenue of $100-Bn (source: NASSCOM).
Employers today operate in a global competitive environment that demands new and constantly
developing talent pool to retain global competitiveness. The problem faced by the employers today is that
of the 550,000 engineering graduates passing out every year, anywhere between 10% and 25% cannot
be readily employed by any technology firm in the country. According to NASSCOM, only 25% of graduates
working in IT are readily employable, while only 15% for back-office jobs.
The Constantly evolving IT industry looks for individuals who have knowledge about the latest technology
and are perpetual learners. Given the speed at which technologies get upgraded to stay ahead of the
pack you need to look for trainers or training organization that change and upgrade their curriculum real
time.
