Oracle, APSSDC to upskill four lakh A.P. youth in cutting-edge tech
The Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) on Monday (May 5) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Oracle to boost technological skills of the State's youth. The agreement was signed in the presence of Minister for Human Resource Development (HRD) and Information Technology (IT) Nara Lokesh.
The MoU, valid for three years, marks a non-financial collaboration aimed at providing free access to Oracle's world-class learning resources to eligible learners. Through this initiative, the APSSDC and Oracle will work together to upskill 400,000 youth over three years in cutting-edge technologies such as Oracle Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, data science and cloud security.
As part of this collaboration, the learners will have round the clock access to Oracle University's 'MyLearn' digital learning platform. Curated learning paths and certifications, including Oracle Cloud Essentials, OCI Foundations, AI Foundations and Cloud Security Professional, will be offered for free. Special focus will be placed on promoting inclusivity and encouraging participation from women and marginalised communities.
Oracle will create a co-branded digital learning platform in partnership with APSSDC, where learners can access curated courses and resources. The APSSDC will actively promote the initiative and facilitate learner registrations through its official website.
The MoU was signed by senior representatives from both Oracle and APSSDC.
