Aptech Limited, a pioneer in the non-formal vocational training business in the country, entered into a strategic alliance with HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global technology company, to curate programs for students who aspire to build careers in the Information Technology (IT) industry. The hybrid training programs offered under this alliance focuses on the learner’s potential for IT and Technology careers, provide necessary assessments to help them choose the right domain and pursue job-based training facilitated by industry practitioners.

Dr. Anil Pant, Managing Director, and CEO, Aptech Limited, said, “We are thrilled to be joining hands with HCL Technologies. India has a large youth population - a favorable demographic dividend that could add a significant % to the GDP growth rate. The nation is becoming one of the fastest growing economies in the world, yet this financial growth has not trickled down to benefit the large number of people who are out of jobs. Even more unfortunate is that, it is not so much the dearth of jobs but the lack of skilled manpower behind such large numbers of unemployed youth. What we truly need today is a transition - from Qualified Unemployed Graduates (QUGs) to becoming Skilled Employed Professionals (SEPs). Qualified Unemployed Graduates (QUGs) are churned out year after year, unsuitable for employment commensurate with their degrees. At House of Aptech, with our various training brands, we believe we have all the fundamentals and building blocks to transform Qualified Unemployed Graduates (QUGs) to become Skilled Employed Professionals (SEPs).”
