Genese has recently introduced the popular Amazon Web Service (AWS) Educate programme in Nepal to deliver industry-relevant cloud computing training and access to jobs globally through Amazon’s job portal. The colleges are 4 of the 25+ selected academic institutions across different cities of Nepal Genese is building strategic partnerships to encourage adoption of internationally recognised online training modules like the AWS Educate programme and Microsoft Learn programme to provide a pathway for students and teachers to access tools, courses, and certification on emerging cloud computing subjects.
Using a blended online training and in-person instruction approach, aided by training of trainers to sustainably upgrade the capacity and standards of the academic institutes, Genese intends to build the work-readiness of graduating students so that they are able to effectively enter and meet the productivity demands of the industry.
The skill training covers job roles such as Application Developer, Cloud Support Engineer, Cloud Support Associate, Cyber Security Specialist, and Data Integration Specialist, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Developer, IoT Developer, Digital Marketer and Business Analysts. Students involved in the training will be linked to AWS Educate job portal, giving them access to over 4,000 employers offering freelance and online jobs in the global market.
Talking about the collaboration with these colleges for providing cloud computing training and certification to students Educate Program Lead of Genese Solutions Niranjan Udas shared that they have seen a substantial number of students, who have a degree but don’t have proper skills that would place them in IT companies or IT-enabled companies. “Our idea of starting cloud computing education and training in Nepal is to bridge the gap between the industry and academia of Nepal,” he said, adding that the teaching model of GCA programme is demand-driven instead of supply-driven, which is achieved by collaborating with the private sector demands. “We are collaborating with national and international industry leaders in education, cloud computing, skill development, and entrepreneurship training to produce a work-ready workforce.”
Likewise, representing all four colleges Principal of NCIT Niranjan Khakurel shared that they are excited to sign the strategic partnership agreement with Genese for providing cloud computing training to the students. “Definitely, an academic degree alone is not enough to prepare a person for the very competitive job market,” he said, adding that they are optimistic that this training programme by Genese will be very helpful to prepare our students for the 21st-century workforce, and place them in jobs locally and globally.
While youth unemployment is a growing problem in Nepal, the IT industry has been finding it challenging to get qualified candidates to fill their vacancies. Through such collaborations, Genese Solution aims to train and equip college students in Nepal with the necessary knowledge and skills, provide job placements locally and globally, and reduce the youth unemployment problem to some extent.
The GCA programme is being conducted with co-investment from UKaid Skills for Employment Programme Challenge Fund – seepnepal.com – a four-year programme to train tomorrow’s workforce today and assure their placement in gainful employment.
