Kolkata: IndiaCan (a joint venture between Educomp and Pearson) has launched specialised programmes in collaboration with Tally Software, to help students get jobs in finance and accounts.
The MoU to this effect was signed between Sharad Talwar, CEO, IndiaCan and Avinash Gupta, CEO, Tally Solutions Pvt Ltd.
According to Talwar, “This is one of the many such significant alliances we are entering into with leading industry players to ensure highest quality of training along with relevant industry endorsement. This will make our students easily employable and productive from day one.”
Companies state that computerised financial accounting is a key focus area in vocational training as there is huge demand for manpower in this space.
Although millions of students graduate in colleges in commerce, most are not able to find jobs in the sector as they do not have the skills that make them job ready.
Avinash Gupta, president, Tally Solutions Pvt Ltd observed, “At Tally, we have always been working on improving the employability of today’s youth and honing their skill-sets by providing industry-relevant knowledge. This coming together of two giants - Tally & IndiaCan to vocationalise education will empower young Indians and contribute in greater measure to society, while helping them find personal success.”
IndiaCan programmes will not only focus on the core concepts like principles of accounting, taxation but also on providing functional expertise in accounting and finance that will make them employable.
As a part of the alliance with IndiaCan, Tally will provide latest versions of the Tally software to IndiaCan with upgrades. It will also provide the content for delivering the training programs on Tally. And finally all students that undergo Accounting programmes from IndiaCan centres will get certificates from IndiaCan which would also be endorsed by Tally.
