Ministry of Education launched the SWAYAM Plus platform.
The Union Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan, launched the ‘SWAYAM Plus’ platform to offer courses developed collaboratively with industry leaders.
Industry players including L&T, Microsoft, and CISCO, will offer employability and professional development-focused programmes through this platform.
This platform will offer programmes in different sectors, including manufacturing, energy, computer science and engineering, IT or ITES, management studies, healthcare, hospitality, and tourism, besides Indian knowledge systems.
These courses will not only provide theoretical knowledge but also skills demanded by the job market.
SWAYAM Plus seeks to enhance the employability of both college students and lifelong learners.
IIT Madras will be the nodal agency for the ‘SWAYAM Plus’ platform.
IIT Madras was also among the founder institutions of Swayam-NPTEL and the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platform.
