Tech companies go for edtech tie-ups to get that ready workforce

BENGALURU | KOLKATA: Amid disruption and rapid evolution of skills needed at the workplace, technology firms have a new modus operandi — partnering edtech firms.

Companies like Wipro, Accenture, IBM and others are tying up with edtech partners like upGrad, Simplilearn and Udacity to have a ready-trained workforce they can deploy on projects. Additional benefits include minimal training cost incurred post recruitment and a lesser churn as learners develop more ownership in their roles.
