The Infosys signed the MoU in line with its ESG Vision 2030 to enable digital skills at scale and empower over 10 million people in India by 2025 through the Infosys Springboard program. As part of Infosys CSR, Infosys Springboard provides free curriculum-rich virtual platform that delivers corporate-grade learning experiences, on any device, with closer educator-learner collaboration for students from Class VI to lifelong learners.
It provides a holistic set of courses, developed in collaboration with world-leading digital educators like Coursera, Skillsoft, Techademy, Knolskape and Harvard Business Publishing. It has already more than 5.5 million registered users in India.
It is aligned with India’s National Education Policy 2020. The learning programme is particularly suited to grow vocational skills, in addition to soft skills. Master classes, programming challenges, and playgrounds for the experimentation make the training immersive for all.
This will lead to upskilling and developing employability of approximately 8 lakh students across 1100 colleges and universities in Odisha.
