Oracle and Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) have announced a collaboration to provide skills development training to 400,000 students across the state to enhance their employability and help advance their careers.
Through this collaboration, 400,000 students at different stages of their learning and professional goals will gain access to digital training material and foundational certifications to prepare them for jobs of the future. This includes access to over 300 hours of learning programs on several technologies such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle AI services, OCI Generative AI, OCI Data Science, Oracle APEX, OCI DevOps, and Oracle Security, along with complete structured learning paths.
“Our collaboration with Oracle is a huge milestone in strengthening and expanding the digital capabilities of the youth of Andhra Pradesh,” said G. Ganesh Kumar, I.A.S, MD & CEO, APSSDC. “We are determined to produce a highly skilled IT workforce and become the IT knowledge hub for the world.”
The program will be delivered for free as a digital learning experience through Oracle MyLearn, Oracle’s comprehensive training and enablement platform from Oracle University, used by millions of technology trainees around the world. It will offer rigorous foundational training in cloud technologies, leading to professional-level training, certifications, and additional training that will be individually curated based on learning levels and educational goals. It will also provide students with a foundation in cloud computing and a better understanding of other core concepts such as AI, ML, data science or block chain.
In addition to professional certifications, students can also earn badges that demonstrate their readiness for specialized job roles, making it easier for employers to identify qualified candidates and support job placement efforts within the state.
“We are proud to partner with APSSDC in our ongoing commitment to empower youth with future-ready skills and support India’s economic development,” said Shailender Kumar, senior vice president and regional managing director, Oracle India and NetSuite – Japan and Asia Pacific. “With AI reshaping the global workforce, the need for continuous upskilling has never been more urgent.
