Chandigarh-based Chitkara University recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with IT consultancy firm Gemini Solutions and launched the Gemini Ambassador Programme to provide the students with enhanced opportunities.
The collaboration is aimed at encouraging more effective use of the resources available with the two parties, Chitkara University said in a statement.
The Gemini Ambassador Programme is an engagement initiative started by Gemini Solutions that aims to form a fraternity of individuals who want to make a difference in the world through technology. The programme will facilitate and nurture the skills of the students and contribute to their professional growth.
The MoU will permit Chitkara University and Gemini Solutions to focus on their efforts on cooperation within the area of skill-based training, education, placement, industrial visit and lectures by experts.
Under the agreement, the sixth semester students will get the chance to attend a free training programme of 30 days, wherein they will be trained on Automation Testing. The students will also be provided with assignments to test them on real-time projects. On successfully completing the course, students will be hired to work with the company.
Students of the university will also benefit from industrial training and visits. Gemini Solutions will provide an insight into the latest developments and requirements of the industries and students will be involved in industrial training programmes. This will boost the confidence of the students and smoothen the transition from university life to work.
