“We look at partnering with organisations and institutions including the government sector, wherever there is an expressed demand for IT training. In the case of Egypt, the government has been very proactive. The ministry of communications and IT, government of Egypt, called upon us to work with them in their mission of ICT capacity building,” says G Raghavan, president of NIIT’s individual learning business.
Explaining the various revenue models it follows, Raghavan said, “Our revenue model may include payments for setting up and running the centres of excellence or it may also be a function of the number of students and the type of programmes we offer in different countries.”
The tie-up is aimed at facilitating and developing a relationship to foster ICT capacity building by way of class-room and online learning through the ‘NIIT Inside’ model, which has the curriculum and training methodology embedded in programmes offered by various universities and colleges in 30 countries, across the globe.
The university and NIIT jointly evaluate how much of course contents of the university’s IT programs can be offered by NIIT. Based on that, NIIT customises its IT training programs and configures it with the university curriculum to offer to the university students.
