    This partnership will provide armed officials with access to technical programmes in data science, AI and ML which go beyond traditional vocational skills.
    Edtech company Hero Vired has partnered with Text & Clicks Academy to upskill existing, retiring and retired armed forces personnel.

    This partnership offers training and placement in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science on a larger scale, and will provide employment opportunities that will allow officials to transition into corporate jobs with ease, creating alternate avenues for employment upon retirement.

    Hero Vired for Business will leverage its industry partner network to guide learners through orientation sessions and masterclasses to help them get through the placement process. Along with MITx certification, the firm will also offer internships and job placements at corporates and start-ups.

    “We are excited about this partnership and our shared vision of upskilling and enabling retired armed forces personnel to transition into alternative careers post retirement in India. Companies are increasingly looking for veterans in various domains. Our goal is to train and assist them in securing employment opportunities in newer technologies," said Srikrishnan V, vice-president and head, Vired for Business, Hero Vired.

    This partnership will provide armed officials with access to technical programmes in data science, AI and ML which go beyond traditional vocational skills.

    “In an era of ever-evolving industrial requirements, we believe that skills are an individual’s greatest asset; they serve us at will. Skilling is, therefore, at the heart of our vision and our ideologies. Transcending from the armed forces to corporate positions will be facilitated by empowering them with new-age skills of AI, ML and data science – the three technical skills which are transforming business functions and processes in addition to our existing courses," said Narinder Madan, head of corporate relations, Text and Clicks Academy.
