The certificate courses are designed to provide students with a simulated environment (virtual office), giving them a real-life simulation of the actual work environment throughout the programme. An artificial intelligence (AI) platform will provide the students with a virtual corporate environment for carrying out various financial transactions in real-time.

The training will help students obtain an experiential learning equivalent to about three months of actual corporate working experience in each of these courses and make them job-ready, the IITM Pravartak statement adds.

According to the IITM Pravartak statement, the training modules in supply-chain and logistics have been provided as a series of lectures by an international expert and former head of the management studies department, G. Srinivasan, who is also associated with IIT Madras for more than 30 years as a faculty member and coordinator for establishing ISO Standards in IIT Madras.

Mangala Sunder, the founder of Digital Skills Academy at IITM Pravartak said: “The objective of these courses is to provide graduate students from Indian academic institutions and employees in multiple industrial sectors, with the necessary skills towards employment or reskilling in the relevant sectors and make them industry and job-ready. In addition, the trainers will cover multiple areas through large problem sets and hands-on training, which will also help the students to face competitive examinations in the Supply chain and Logistics sector well and with confidence.”
