Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages' Expansion of 'Campus to Corporate' Program

Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages (HCCB), a top FMCG company in India, plans to extend the 'Campus to Corporate Program' across Telangana. This expansion, in collaboration with the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK) and Aahan Consulting, is set for 2024. The initiative aims to provide over 5,000 final-year diploma students from Government Polytechnic Colleges with the necessary skills for employment. The initiative was announced today, at the Government Girls Polytechnic College. 

This initiative marks a major extension of a collaboration which, since its inception in 2022, has exceeded its initial goal by educating more than 15,000 students throughout Telangana. This accomplishment is in line with the MoU that HCCB and TASK signed last year, which targets the skill enhancement of an extra 10,000 college students by the 2023-24 academic year.

Campus to Corporate

The "Campus to Corporate" program focuses on preparing college students for the workforce by improving their skills. TASK handles organising student groups, selecting sites for in-person classes, and scheduling these sessions. Contrarily, HCCB is responsible for developing the curriculum, selecting instructors, implementing a Train the Trainers (TTT) program to broaden the network of skilled trainers, and managing both virtual and in-person classes.

The training includes workshops on interpersonal skills, crafting resumes, and preparing for interviews. This initiative aims to cultivate talent and close the divide between academic training and industry demands, paving the way for the upcoming workforce to thrive in the corporate environment.

Sri C. Srinath, Regional Joint Director, Department of Technical Education, Telangana said, “Telangana holds significant promise and opportunities for our youth. Initiatives like ‘Campus to Corporate’ are crucial in facilitating a smooth transition for students into professional roles. We welcome the efforts and contributions of HCCB in enhancing the skillset of our students and being a notable part of Telangana’s growth story.”

Mr. Himanshu Priyadarshi, Chief Public Affairs, Communications, and Sustainability Officer at HCCB, said, “HCCB remains deeply committed towards the growth and prosperity of Telangana, as highlighted during our recent discussions with the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Shri A. Revanth Reddy. Through our 'Campus to Corporate Program', we aim to harness the dynamic nature of today's job market and equip the young professionals with adequate skills to make them employable. We are excited about the future and our role in supporting the vibrant economy of Telangana.”
