NTT DATA, a global leader in digital business and IT services, has established three Full Stack Computing Centers of Excellence (CoE) in collaboration with the reputed R.M.K. Group of Engineering Colleges in Chennai affiliated to
Anna University, Tamil Nadu.

The NTT DATA Full Stack Computing Center of Excellence’s primary objective is to enhance students’ skills in end-to-end application development.

Students will undergo comprehensive training encompassing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, back-end languages like Python, PHP and Ruby as well as gaining proficiency in Agile project management and essential soft skills, say sources from NTT Data.

As a part of the CoE, NTT DATA’s proprietary training platform will be made accessible. Trainers from NTT DATA will also engage and train faculty during guest sessions.

The $245 billion Indian Technology industry 1 is currently witnessing an employability gap in engineering graduates, said Niranjan Kumar, Senior Vice President, NTT DATA Services.

NTT DATA is committed to nurturing talent by providing them with training platforms on emerging technologies, ensuring their seamless integration into the future tech workforce, said Niranjan Kumar.
