AWS To Prepare Indian Talent For Cloud Careers
Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced the launch of AWS re/Start in India. AWS re/Start is a free skills-development and job training program that prepares learners for cloud computing careers. The 12-week program will be offered at no cost to learners, and any previous technology experience is not required to apply for the same. AWS re/Start is a skills-based training program that covers fundamental AWS Cloud skills and practical career skills, such as interviewing and resume writing. Students will build Linux, Python, networking, security, and relational database skills through real-world, scenario-based exercises, labs, and coursework. The program aims to prepare participants for entry-level cloud roles in operations, site reliability, infrastructure support, and more. In addition, the program prepares and covers the cost for participants to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification exam, so they can validate their acquired cloud skills with an industry-recognized credential. “The industry demand for cloud adoption is far outpacing the number of cloud-skilled workers available, leaving organizations struggling to find and hire the talent needed to implement cloud services. To overcome the lack of supply, cloud talent must be cultivated from non-traditional sources. AWS re/Start brings new talent into the cloud ecosystem by skilling unemployed and underemployed individuals with little or no technology experience and preparing them to launch a cloud career,” said Amit Mehta, Head of AWS Training and Certification – India, Amazon Internet Services Pvt. Ltd (AISPL). Image Source: AWS Training and Certification AWS re/Start will host cohorts based in six cities in India, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, and Thiruvananthapuram. The program collaborates with five local education organizations, including EduBridge Learning, Edujobs Academy, iPrimed Education, Rooman.Net, and Vinsys IT Services, to deliver virtual training by an expert instructor. AWS re/Start will work with these organizations to connect program graduates to potential employers. Capgemini, one of the global leaders in consulting, digital transformation, technology, and engineering services, is providing financial assistance for AWS re/Start and plans to interview and hire select program graduates into various cloud roles. Capgemini, an AWS Partner, will work closely with EduBridge Learning to facilitate this. Pallavi Tyagi, CHRO of India at Capgemini, said, “At Capgemini, we are committed to shaping the talent landscape in India by providing opportunities for individuals to transition into high-demand roles while building their careers. AWS re/Start aligns with that focus and reflects our commitment to helping recruits get the future they want. As AWS re/Start scales in the country, we believe it will be game-changing for more and more Indians looking to reskill, and take advantage of opportunities in a dynamic and evolving cloud and technology services job market ”.
