Creating smart network professionals

Sterlite Technologies Ltd launched the ‘SterliteTech Academy’ on Tuesday which aims at creating a skilled talent pool of smart network professionals to enable the creation of smart data networks.

Highlighting the role SterliteTech Academy will play in broadband deployment, Dr Anand Agarwal, CEO, Sterlite Technologies, said, “Our close association with telecom operators has enabled us to understand their challenges for network deployment.

For India to progress to a knowledge-based society, it is imperative that broadband penetration improves. A big challenge to this is the lack of skilled work force in creation of data infrastructure. This is acting as a roadblock for many mission critical projects in both, public and private sectors.

We are happy to launch our SterliteTech Academy, through which the industry can now look forward to gaining trained and certified professionals for their broadband infrastructure and fibre deployment projects.”

The course modules are designed considering global best practices while customising for local market needs and Indian ecosystem. The courses are held in a lab setting based on the latest optical fibre technologies that enable individuals to deliver a perfect blend of quality and speed in deployment. The training programme is followed by rigorous assessments and certifications.
