Updated on: Wednesday, November 10, 2010

TalentSprint, a pioneer in creating high performance professionals, and NGO Anantapur Development Initiative (ADI) have launched an employability-focussed training programs for rural youth in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh.
"The programs was formally launched by Collector B Janardhan Reddy last week and will be conducted using a combination of virtual and in-class delivery format. The
programs commenced last month and may soon be introduced in other backward rural areas of the state," J A Chowdary, Executive President at ADI Foundation and Executive Chairman at TalentSprint said.

The first program launched in Anantapur is TalentSprint's flagship Software Testing Foundation program that combines lectures, exercises and hands-on experience with leading software tools into a structured learning format that has successfully transformed hundreds of fresh graduates into well-rounded software professionals for the global testing industry, Chowdary said.

The program also places intense focus on English skills which go a long way in ensuring success for the trainees in the workplace, he added.

Chowdary said that if the program launched all over the country it would not only solve the unemployment problem but also the growth of economy. "We planned to approach the Union Government for financial support," he said.

"We see a growing need for software testers in the industry. By introducing our training programs in rural Andhra Pradesh and our first focused training program in Anantapur, we are able to expand the industry-ready entry level talent pool while promoting employability for the rural youth," said Dr Santanu Paul, CEO and Managing Director at TalentSprint.

The tie-up between TalentSprint and ADI Foundation will be a good platform to bridge the gap between prospective employers and unemployed rural youth. The program will hone their skills and provide them with industry relevant training.

"We are also able to provide young engineers in Anantapur with the opportunity to develop their testing skills and start their careers in software testing with some of the leading IT companies," said Chowdary.

This initiative will be extended to Chennai and Kolkata in a phased manner, he added.
