IT major Microsoft has selected eight girl students from Gitam University for its Women In Software Engineering (WISE) programme. The selected students include CH. Charishma, Samridhya Lahiri, Anjali Sowgandhika, Tejaswini Panda, Radhika Patnaik, Tarigoppula Sai Sahithi, Sappa Sneha and P.Sireesha.
The WISE programme comprises a mentoring group of volunteers from Microsoft who intends to create an experiential learning for girl students to sharpen their professional skills.
The idea originated from a group of women engineers working at Microsoft India who wanted to help women engineering students shape out successful careers in technology. Furthermore, it allows participants to enhance their knowledge in the area of their technological interest. It equips select women graduates with the latest industry tools, modern programming practices, and helps them secure positions in top software firms.
