About ICT Academy of Tamil Nadu<br />
ICT Academy of Tamil Nadu (<strong>ICTACT</strong>) is a<br />
not for profit autonomous society, formed as a<br />
Consortium of Government of India, Government of<br />
Tamil Nadu and Confederation of Indian Industry<br />
(CII) under the Private – Public - Partnership (PPP)<br />
model that endeavors to create an industry relevant<br />
knowledge eco system and the next level of talent pool.<br />
In the current scenario, the issue faced by both<br />
industry and institutions is addressing the gap between<br />
University curriculum and industry requirements.<br />
The need was felt by the Industry, Government and<br />
Academia to create a platform to address this critical<br />
issue. This would enable to make Tamil Nadu an ICT<br />
hub.<br />
<strong>ICTACT</strong> has associated with the leading<br />
Universities and Academic institutions to understand<br />
and cater to their requirements. Over 450 institutions<br />
are now being serviced by the academy.<br />
<strong>ICTACT</strong> has associated with Corporate bodies<br />
like Cognizant Technology Solutions, Tata<br />
Consultancy Services, Microsoft Corporation, Intel,<br />
Hexaware Technologies, Oracle, National<br />
Instruments, Cadence etc, to support this novel<br />
initiative. Through this initiative, the Industry shall<br />
benefit by the improved availability of quality talent<br />
pool that is industry ready. This will help the industry<br />
to cut down on training costs and reduce the lead time<br />
required to deploy fresh talent in to productive work.<br />
The need is also felt to have industry – institute<br />
interaction to share the ever changing industry<br />
requirements in terms of technology and the skills<br />
required for the future talent pool.<br />
<strong>ICTACT</strong> is a platform for all the stakeholders of<br />
the knowledge ecosystem to Innovate, Collaborate<br />
and Educate.<br />
