“The youth today is very aspirational. They want to achieve excellence in all spheres of life. What I find most commonly is that these youth lack the guidance necessary to hone their skills and use it for something meaningful. DSEU has been imparting excellent skill training on its campus since its inception. This partnership has a lot of potential to create a stir in the skill ecosystem and potentially lead to a long duration degree (3 years) course on telecom which will be whole heartedly welcomed by the industry. With an experienced staff and strong vision, DSEU is an ideal collaborator for us in our journey helping drive the employability of candidates passing out from both organizations,” said Arvind Bali, CEO of TSSC.
