Microsoft to partner Infosys, Wipro..

Microsoft is to assist frontline IT companies in getting on board readily employable graduates from educational institutions.

Infosys, Wipro and PC Solutions may soon hire students trained in Microsoft’s technologies straight from the campus thanks to the latter’s new education resourcing programme.

The three Indian companies have joined hands with Microsoft for ‘Ed-vantage’, an initiative running at 50-odd colleges across the country, Sanket Akerkar, Managing Director of Microsoft India, said on the sidelines of a press meet today.

Under the initiative, Microsoft will set up centres of excellence in the colleges. Students will be trained in Microsoft’s latest technologies even before they are formally launched in the market.
