Swecha Intensive Industry Training Camp - 2016
Job seekers, especially from rural areas, are increasingly finding it
difficult to find a job due to limited access to resources and decreasing
opportunities across the globe. Intensive Industry Training Camp (IITC) is
an annual training program, conducted by Swecha, that improves students'
learning capacity with a team driven environment. Going beyond simple
technology introduction with assignments, IITC provides an integration
system that consolidates technology learning through Project Stimulated
Learning.
Project Stimulated Learning & #150; All the learning at IITC happens by
making students (through teams) involve in a project. Eg. Learning HTML5 &
CSS3 is done by involving the students in a project of Firefox Operating
System Application Development. In the process, students acquire not only
measurable progress in technology learning but also attain different
perspectives of technology development/product development.
The Times are changing in software industry. Initially (read 20 years
back), software industry automated the existing industry (finance,
mechanical etc) of that time. But, today, software industry itself is
getting automated. Hence, we are seeing a change (and drop) in
opportunities for the job seekers. Simultaneously, this change also opened
opportunities in the following sectors & #150; Internet of Things (IoT),
Python, Content Management Systems & Multimedia.
Smart Irrigation System:
The Internet of Things is all the rage. Gartner Projects states that the
Internet of Things will bring a total economic value-add of $1.9 trillion
by 2020. and the number of connected devices will reach 26 billion, while
information managed by enterprises will grow by 14x. Building a Smart
Irrigation System using Aurdino (IoT) will be a good learning experience
for students. The students will be implementing the developed project on
field - an experience which is powerful addition to a resume.
Smart News Publisher:
Content management has become a foundation stone in any organization, be
it in the form of a knowledge management framework, database management,
employee file and folder management, digital asset management, record
management or any other form. Building a News publisher using Drupal &
python will enable them to work on cms projects after graduation.
FreedomBox:
The FreedomBox is personal server running a free software operating
system, with free applications designed to create and preserve personal
privacy.
Multimedia & #150; Film Making:
This is one area which hasn't lost shine since its inception. It continues
to be the most sort after software profession to be a multimedia
developer. The difference in our course is that students are exposed to
zero-cost (but high potential) multimedia tools that enable them to work
independently on multimedia projects after graduation.
Soft skills :
Current generation with limited exposure to literature, find it difficult
to express and communicate their ideas. Due to explosion of information
they are able to frame ideas on varied subjects, but expressing and
communicating the same (even in their mother tongue) is a problem and
crisis that current generation is going through. Our soft skills program
will expose the students to live environment where they need to express
themselves and make them confident to have and express their ideas in
different forms such as spot-seminars, stand-up talks, mock interviews,
group discussions.
IT companies and Start-ups will be coming to Swecha Summer camp to find
suitable candidates for recruitment. It would be a great opportunity for
students, please inform them the same.
