Veranda Learning Solutions, IITG to launch advance certificate courses for upskilling

The courses will comprise simulations, hands-on practice, and case studies to guarantee that the working professionals who complete it are prepared for the next stage of their career growth.  

In order to understand the need for upskilling among working professionals, Veranda Higher-Ed team, conducted a study with the help of the E&ICT Academy IIT Guwahati, with business heads, middle management leaders and early professionals from new age businesses, to determine the level of upskilling required and identify the skills that are lacking. 

The results reveal that professional skills that are going to be in demand in coming few years, are, among others, in the areas of supply chain and logistics management, product management, digital business management and business analytics.  

Brand Edureka and the E&ICT Academy IIT Guwahati have thus teamed up to co-develop specialised courses on product management, supply chain & project management, and digital business management, to create a pool of skilled human resources in emerging areas.  

These courses will be co-taught by experts in the field and will include individualised career coaching, mentoring and assistance. Each of these new courses will comprise simulations, hands-on practice, and case studies to guarantee that the working professionals who complete it are prepared for the next stage of their career growth.
