Initiative by GTech in association with Singapore Management University.
Thiruvananthapuram: A number of management students from Singapore will soon be doing an internship programme at Technopark. The initiative is being kick-started through a pilot project by the Group of Technopark companies (GTech) in partnership with the Singapore Management University.
GTech CEO Binu Shankar said this was part of GTech's plan to establish global linkages for the Kerala IT Industry. The two-month long pilot project is being organised at InApp Information Technologies from the first week of May.
The interns would eventually help Technopark companies in identifying business and market opportunities in the South East Asian Market. The idea was mooted during GTech's interaction with Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI) held in June 2009.
Wholesome exposure
The objective of the internship programme was to provide a framework by which graduate and post-graduate students of Singapore from diverse academic backgrounds may be assigned to member-companies where their education experience can be enhanced through practical work assignments and exposure to the work of the Kerala IT Industry.
Right strategy
In a press note issued on Friday, GTech said such an initiative would reinforce the strategic relationship between Kerala and the city-state of Singapore. This is in tune with GTech's policy of developing in-depth engagements with the government and the business establishments in Singapore and other South East Asian Countries.
GTech strongly feels that these interns from different nationalities covering the ASEAN countries would act as brand ambassadors for the state IT Industry in furthering the industry's business and strategic interests.
