The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) Pravartak Technologies Foundation is working with Cambtech Training and Placement firm to offer new certification programs in the Supply Chain and Logistics field. These courses are designed to give students a realistic work experience in a “Virtual Office,” where they can learn just like they would in a real job.
Students will also use an artificial intelligence platform that creates a virtual business environment for them to practice tasks like handling financial transactions in real-time.
The available courses include Supply Chain Management, Port Management, Chartering Practices, and International Liners Trade. Upon finishing the program, students will receive a certificate from Cambtech and IITM Pravartak.
Prof. Mangala Sunder, the founder of Digital Skills Academy at IITM Pravartak, stressed that the aim is to equip college students and workers from various industries with the skills they need to find jobs or learn new skills. “The training will prepare students to take on competitive exams in Supply Chain and Logistics confidently,” said Prof. Sunder.
Vaishnavi B Iyer, CEO of Cambtech, also highlighted how essential upskilling is today, encouraging candidates to prepare for successful careers in Supply Chain and Logistics. The unique virtual training platform created by Cambtech will let students learn in various ways.
The foundational knowledge for all training will come from expert lessons by Prof. G. Srinivasan, who has been a part of IIT Madras for over 30 years and has experience in international management.
The first batch of these courses will start on January 1, 2025, and registration will close on December 25, 2024. Interested candidates can sign up through the provided link.
