Gearing up to the challenge of equipping software professionals in the latest technologies, software training institutes are planning to offer training programmes in industry-specified domains to ensure the students can be productive from day one.
Availability of trained software professionals is the single major obstacle for the growth of the information communication technology industry in the city and that is what keeping investors to come to the city, Prasad Lokum of Miracle Software noted in an interaction with The Hindu .
The students from the city aspiring to join software industry prefer to go for domain-specific training in Bengaluru to Hyderabad in view of better opportunities there.
“It is a major challenge to make these aspiring professionals to stay back and look at employment opportunities here. Our training has to be top class and industry-specific to be able to get them placements in city-based enterprises,” CEO of Millennium Software Solutions Sridhar Reddy told The Hindu .
The leading software training institutes in the city have decided to work together to address this challenge and to promote the city as an ideal software industry destination.
“We are planning to organise awareness programmes in colleges in and around the city on the opportunities available in the city for software professionals to help promote the industry here,” director GIT Solutions and director APTECH Training Centre G. Rambabu said.

“We are planning to participate in the Telugu Association of North America (TANA) 20th convention being organised in Detroit in the USA in July. While inviting investors to set up base in Visakhapatnam we would give them the assurance that we are there to offer training in different domains to ensure that there are adequate trained software professionals,” Mr. Reddy told The Hindu.
The software training institutes have proposed to partner with the State government skill development programmes being organised in the city.
Our training has to be top class to enable students to get placements in
