Bangalore: PurpleLeap, a subsidiary organization of IndiaCan, provides training to engineering students in their third or final year. "IT companies spend approximately $2.5 billion in re-training freshers for three to six months. PurpleLeap, would prepare freshers to take entry level jobs without the company's training," said Sharad Talwar, CEO, IndiaCan Education. With a fee structure of 50,000 for four to five months, the students will be trained by IT professionals of high caliber from various IT companies, using VSAT technology and it guarantees a job after the completion of the programme. "An admission to this programme cannot be granted only through a payment of a lump sum amount. Students will have to clear stringent selection process which includes a written exam, group discussion and interview," says Anjan Dutta, Senior Vice President, People Solutions Group, IndiaCan Education. Further information on the professionals and their background in various companies were not disclosed. IndiaCan , a 50:50 joint venture of Educomp Solutions and Pearson has launched its vocational training centre in Bangalore. They have a special service for students aspiring to get through the field of Information Technology. The initiative in vocational education is focused to employ youth in five domains namely, Spoken English, Accounts, Sales, Retail and IT. "To make people employable in the corporate sector, a strong command over spoken English is necessary. Pearson is the world's largest education services provider and is known for its research and expertise in having trained 2.5 crore learners across the world. That is why, we preferred to tie up with Pearson," said Talwar. On being asked about the job assurance through their programmes, Talwar said that, they only facilitate employment opportunities by getting the students interviewed by the corporates and every student is allowed to be interviewed by atleast three companies, where they can grab their chance. IndiaCan is reluctant to stretch a course if it is not required. Different programmes have different duration and the fee structure could vary from 1,000 to 25,000 depending on the nature of the programme offered. It has tied up with leading corporates like Religare Enterprises and various other sectors, to facilitate jobs to students who will complete their courses. Each centre's activity is under scrutiny through VSAT hubs and this would not matter the quality of education delivered in various centres located across the country, as all the trainers would be trained and certified by them. It also provides education to people in rural India for which they are funded by the government. As of now, 10,000 students have been trained in various vocational courses and almost 70 percent of them have been employed. Since, the high end courses have been recently launched, students are yet to be employed.
