Swedish vendor Ericsson and Bharat Ratna Bhim Rao Ambedkar Institute of Telecom Training (BRBRAITT) announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to implement hands-on, instructor-led training and online learning for engineering students in line with Skill India and Digital India initiatives.
As part of this partnership, engineering students will be trained annually through face-to-face, instructor-led sessions at the Ericsson 5G Centre of Excellence hosted at BRBRAITT. More than 2,200 students will gain access to face-to-face and self-paced online Ericsson Educate modules covering the essentials of 5G and IoT through this program.
According to Ericsson, the training curriculum will encompass both theoretical and practical sessions covering 5G architecture, key use cases, and hands-on experience with 5G equipment.
These programs are targeted at engineering students in their 3rd and 4th years, particularly those specialising in Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, and Computer Science.
“This collaboration is a step forward in building a future-ready talent pool that can innovate, design, and lead in new-age technologies like 5G and IoT,” said Nitin Bansal, Managing Director, Ericsson India.
“As we continue to strengthen our presence in India across R&D, design, and manufacturing, enabling a robust learning ecosystem is a natural extension of our long-term strategy. By combining our global expertise with India’s engineering talent, we aim to contribute meaningfully to the Government’s Digital India, Skill India and Make in India missions,” he completed.
