NIIT launches cloud-based training programme `Turning Point’

NIIT Ltd, Asia's largest IT trainer, today launched `Turning Point', a transformational GNIIT programme based on an all-new cloud-centric curriculum, enriched with insights from the industry.

NIIT's latest learning programme features NIIT alumni whose lives have changed significantly after successful completion of the industry-endorsed GNIIT programme, its flagship career programme that has been running for the past 20 years.

Earlier this year, NIIT had created an industry advisory council (IAC), wherein industry leaders shared their inputs on how GNIIT could be further improved to help students become future-ready for the industry.

"The new syllabus, with inputs from the industry as well as NIIT's technology partners, is a perfect blend of core IT skills, professional skills and cloud technology. It ensures that the student's IT knowledge and skills are mapped to the industry requirements and role competencies," NIIT said in a release.

The new GNIIT programme maximises career opportunities by offering programmes that lead to exit profiles in diverse fields of IT like Cloud Applications Developer, Enterprise Applications Developer, Business Intelligence Solutions Developer, Service Administrator and Network Administrator, according to NIIT.

"Over the years, GNIIT has been the turning point in the lives of youth seeking challenging career options in the global IT industry. With a view to further improve the programme and make students ready to take up challenging assignments in the ever-evolving IT sector, we are in constant dialogue with industry leaders. This has enabled us to offer a programme that is completely aligned to the manpower needs of the IT industyry," G Raghavan, chief executive, career-building solutions, of NIIT said.
