Accenture to invest $100 Million to make 2.5 lakh job ready - Business news

Bangalore: Beginning a new initiative called 'Skills to Succeed', Accenture will make 250,000 unskilled and semi-skilled people around the world job- or business-ready by 2015. Accenture and Accenture Foundation will invest over $100 million into this initiative, reports Mini Joseph Tejaswi from The Economic Times.

This program will seek to educate people, and build skills that enable them to participate in and contribute to areas like IT, BPO, hospitality and retail. India, with over 450 million unskilled and semi-skilled workforce under 35, is likely to be a significant beneficiary of this campaign.

Accenture has roped in Dr. Reddy's Foundation and Nasscom Foundation to provide BPO skills training to underprivileged youth from rural India. It has entered into a partnership with IGNOU to offer a diploma course on BPO services. "With Nasscom Foundation, we will train adolescent girls and young women from economically backward areas in animation skills," said Rekha Menon, Executive Director in Accenture India.
