“Even those recruits from some of the best engineering
colleges are simply not job-ready. If these graduates were
“completely deployable in terms of their technical
proficiency”, they would need in-house training of only a
week or 10 days”. All businesses cry for employability skills as
these enable their growth and competitiveness.

At CleanSoft Academy, we have developed an industry-oriented Program for IT Industry
Talent Development
Excellence – PRIDE. The program’s competency framework is designed to groom college for Colleges
students to perform effectively and contribute to the organization’s business goals in their
professional career immediately after their graduation.
The objective of PRIDE is to build employability skills and make college students completely deployable and easily fit
into the IT industry environment. PRIDE is tailored to plug IT industry skill gaps as below:
 Provide exposure to systems approach / thinking and help students to graduate from “programmer” to a well-
rounded “software professional”
 Apply concepts of product engineering
 Improve ability to ‘deep-dive’ into a particular focus area as experience level increases
 Improve soft skills, especially when it comes to interacting with the client
 Provide exposure to corporate culture – reporting, compliance, escalations, e-mail etiquettes and protocols
The benefits that colleges can derive by including this program as part of their academic curriculum are:
 Develop talented workforce as per industry expectations resulting in increased student placements
 Attract right companies for campus recruitment
 Facilitate better industry-academia interface to help faculty understand industry function/trends and create
opportunity for commercialization of projects with industry
