Globsyn Skills conducted a 25-hour training program in ‘Life and Work Skills’ for the second and third year BBA students of Ahsanullah Institute of Information & Communication Technology (AIICT) in Bangladesh on Dec 1 and 2, 2015. This programme was undertaken in association with Round Table India - Cart 12.

The students were provided training in C Programing, Welding, Mobile Repairing, DTH Installation and Basic Computing domains. They received free hands-on training in their respective domains, followed by certification.

AIICT is under the aegis of the Dhaka Ahsania Mission which seeks to spread globally relevant education among the underprivileged. Being sponsored by Globsyn Skills in association with Round Table India - Cart 12, the job-oriented, industry-aligned training in‘Life and Work Skills’ included Basic Computing and Microsoft Office suites, which are much sought after skills across sectors in all developing economies and should enable the 40+ trainees of the program to become employable in the organized sector.

On completion of the training program, the Director of AIICT, Syed Zia said, “I am glad that Globsyn Skills and Round Table India - 12 agreed to provide training to our students, who would benefit from the Basic Computing and MS Office skills, which are very important and essential in the corporate world.
