Seminar in Banglore on 22-23 Oct.
Army, NASSCOM to hold seminar jointly in Banglore to find jobs for Army veterans in IT Sector
Jalandhar, October 18, 2019: In a novel and path-breaking initiative which will have far-reaching implications, Army and NASSCOM will come together to find modern-day jobs for Army veterans in the IT Sector, said Maj Gen Deepak Sapra MD, AWPO (Army Welfare Placement Org).
Army produces a large No of cadres in various IT related fields but most of them are unable to find suitable options in the second inning after an active army life mostly because of the technological and cultural differences, said Sapra.
Many multi-national firms have shown keenness to hire the Army veterans for their exceptional attributes including discipline and loyalty but the technological and cultural differential with the corporate world becomes a significant challenge in hiring these veterans for modern-day IT-related jobs, he added.
The Idea is being driven jointly by Army, NASSCOM and US Bank Wells Fargo. Two-day brainstorming seminar is planned in Bangalore on 22-23 Oct. Amazon India also participating. While Army will assess the industrial needs during the two-day event in Bangalore, NASSCOM will help Army in orienting to the modern industrial needs in the IT sector, big industrial houses will also be present to share challenges of HR and draw benefits from this first-ever mega-event, said Maj Gen Deepak Sapra.
