Flashback 2020: How Tech Solution Companies Created Upskilling Opportunities for Millennials

Flashback 2020: How Tech Solution Companies Created Upskilling Opportunities for Millennials

In September 2020, India saw an unemployment rate of over six percent which was a significant improvement from the previous months. A damaging impact on an economy as large as India’s caused due a total lockdown was imminent. Unemployment went up to 24 percent in May 2020. This was possibly a result of a decrease in demand as well as the disruption of workforce faced by companies. Furthermore, this caused a GVA loss of more than nine percent for the Indian economy that month as per Statista report.

At a time of soaring unemployment Prodevans Technologies, a leading technology solution provider specialising in end-to-end DevOps announced the launch of their unique and collaborative internship program ‘LEAP’ that enables young graduates from tier 3 oand 4 cities to work on projects like PDCloudEX and IVentura. LEAP is an online / virtual internship program and is the only research-based internship program in India. Designed by COSS INDIA, in association with education partners Red Hat Academy, Red Hat Global Learning Services and technology partner Prodevans Technologies, LEAP is strengthening today’s generation by providing 8 weeks of internship which can also be customized according to the college’s requirement. The interns spend 4 hours a day which consists of 2 hours of training and 2 hours of project work.

Here are few other technology solution companies which helped and strengthened millennials in their own possible ways:

Amazon’s 100K new jobs : Many people lost their jobs, and others were relying on Amazon for supplies during the nationwide house arrest. Amazon announced an opening of 100,000 new jobs to support those extra deliveries and provide a source of income for those who may have lost their jobs because of the crisis.

Microsoft’s Commitment of paying out of work : Microsoft is the first large tech company to commit to keeping paying hourly workers. Since Microsoft has joined other companies in asking employees to work from home, those hourly workers who can’t work from home are still getting paid. Microsoft is committed to keeping those who are reliant on its WFH and virtual learning solutions connected.

Cisco’s Commitment of $225M: Cisco committed $225 million to the various COVID-19 efforts. $8 million is in cash, and $210 million is in products and resources that focus on healthcare, education, government efforts, and technology. Cisco also encouraged its 77,000 employees to give what they can by launching an employee matching gift campaign for $4 million in total giving.

Prodevans Technologies launches a new internship platform called LEAP to provide opportunities to young IT graduates

At a time of soaring unemployment Prodevans Technologies; a leading technology solution provider specializing in end-to-end DevOps today announces the launch of their unique and collaborative internship program ‘LEAP’ that will enable young graduates from small-town(tier 3 or 4) to work on projects like PDCloudEX and IVentura.

LEAP is an online/virtual internship program and is the only research-based internship program in India. It is designed by COSS INDIA, in association with education partners Red Hat Academy, Red Hat Global Learning Services and technology partner Prodevans Technologies. The duration of the program is max for 8 weeks (of 45 working days), however, it can also be customized according to the college’s requirement. The interns will spend 4 hours a day which will consist of 2 hours of training and 2 hours of project work.

Commenting on the internship opportunity Deepak Mishra – Founder & CEO of Prodevans Technologies stated; “We as an organization is already facing skill gap as there is massive technological advancement and we need a constant supply of young talent to keep pace with the changes. This platform will help us find out the right set of skill set and also empower the graduates to have employment.”

To provide the young professional with internship opportunity and to ensure a constant supply, Prodevans Technologies has a tie-up with around a hundred engineering colleges across the country. The program offers students to get a chance to earn globally recognized certifications from RED HAT, while working on a LIVE Project in emerging technologies including Linux / Python / Docker / OpenStack / AWS / OpenShift / Kubernetes / Ansible / DevOps Tools and Machine Learning. This internship program is a research-based Summer Internship program and acclaimed by the IT industry, which works collaboratively on multiple technologies like Devops, Cloud Computing, AI / ML, Python, Docker and Kubernetes.

The technological landscape is evolving so rapidly that people have to keep up with the changes. As most of the critical production applications still runs on UNIX & Linux Operating Systems, which makes the individual with good sys ops skills and Linux in demand. Technologies are driving the business and organization needs to be competitive as they have to deploy changes faster and have to deal with lots of data to monitor their systems. Prodevans has invested in high-quality human resources to start this internship program, as there is a severe shortage of skilled personnel across the tech landscape and with this integrated program, the young IT graduates will not only get exposure of these technologies but will also get industry-ready.

At Prodevans Technologies they spend almost a year to hone the skills of young IT graduates before they become industry-ready. The Interns would be working on a LIVE Project in collaboration with our Core Development team and get exposure to the industry even before they complete their education. The exposure they get by working on live projects, the customer interactions they have, the soft skills they develop – all prepare them to be ready to join the industry and more importantly help them become productive.
