NASSCOM had estimated that, by 2010, India could face a shortfall of 500,000 IT professionals. It was believed that this could seriously threaten India's position as a leading provider of IT and ITES services.

According to NASSCOM, every year over 3 million people (graduates and post graduates) are added to the workforce in India.

Of these, only 25 percent of technical graduates and 10-15 percent of other graduates are considered employable by the growing IT and ITES sectors.

How does this impact you? This shortfall is a reflection of the gap between what the industry wants and what is being offered across the board.

Academic programmes in traditional colleges, while delivering theoretical knowledge, do not provide a strong foundation in practical skills or adequate exposure to real scenarios in the working world. Futurz Academy was established to fill this void in our schooling system. Its multi-disciplinary courses have robust practical elements that develop critical skills necessary for workplace success.

From one centre in 2010, Futurz academy has expanded to more than 30 centres located across multiple cities. The centres are defined by Futurz Academy's firm commitment to quality delivery, sound infrastructure, and vital learning resources. Strong ties with industry are also a big part of the Futurz Academy's difference.
