AICTE, Microsoft Collaborate to Skill Students and Educators

The All India Council For Technical Education (AICTE) and Microsoft have collaborated to empower students and educators with future-ready skills.

 

Under the partnership, more than 1500 course modules from Microsoft will be made available to students and educators free of cost through AICTE’s e-learning portal, ELIS.

 

The collaboration will also give educators access to best-in-class online learning paths and instructor-led training material through the Microsoft Learn for Educators platform. Eligible educators and faculty members can access Microsoft’s ready-to-teach curriculum and teaching materials aligned with industry-recognized Microsoft certifications.

Prof. Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairman, AICTE, Ministry of Education said, “Upskilling is very important to enhance employability opportunities for students. AICTE is happy to partner with Microsoft to help students get an opportunity to be hands-on with the latest technology and build products and services for the future.”

 

Anant Maheshwari, President, Microsoft India said, “Our collaboration with AICTE reflects our commitment to building a strong skilling ecosystem in the country and ensure continuity in learning. COVID-19 has accelerated the need for upskilling and has shown clearly that the future of learning will be profoundly personalized and supported by technology. We are committed to empowering learners and educators across the country to skill themselves in emerging technologies and partner in the journey to thrive in a digital future.”

 

Through this partnership, learners will also get an opportunity to be hands-on with technology and build for the future with Azure for Students.
