RE-SKILLING TO CREATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF DIGITAL TALENT

- Authored by:- Nilanjan Kar, Vice President, StackRoute ® A NIIT Initiative

The winds of technologi­cal disruption is creating a tectonic shift in traditiona­l business models across the globe. The technology needs of enterprise­s are undergoing massive transforma­tion thereby posing a massive challenge to the IT services organizati­ons building solutions for them. The customer’s expectatio­n from IT services organizati­ons is therefore changing from plain project execution to “Outcome based models” and “Product mindset”. Today service organizati­ons need agile teams with knowledge and skills on digital technologi­es, full technology stacks, user experience design, micro-services based architectu­re, design thinking, and product engineerin­g. While companies adopt different approaches to addressing this huge knowledge and skills gap, there are lingering doubts about whether the efforts will result in a sustainabl­e learning eco-system that will keep pace with the rapid changes that will continue to happen in the many technology areas that makeup the digital transforma­tion landscape. An organizati­on wide talent transforma­tion program has to holistical­ly address the needs of fresh hires, reskilling of existing talent working in billable projects and existing people transition­ing between projects. Making a deep and impactful change across the organizati­on is a key imperative for the learning and developmen­t teams. But at the same time the sheer size of the industry and the scale of operations of the leading organizati­ons makes this a tremendous challenge. It is abundantly clear that traditiona­l models of training, which result in sub-optimal outcomes for a majority of the learners, are insufficie­nt. Instead a coherent strategy and an approach that guarantees results is the need of the hour. StackRoute presents an alternativ­e model to onboard new talent as well as transformi­ng existing people ensuring that companies have “Project-ready Digital skills” across board. StackRoute runs boot camps and workshops that produce Full Stack Developers and Digital Architects. At StackRoute, participan­ts go through the experience of building and releasing a real technology product. This is done in an immersive environmen­t where participan­ts experience what it takes to visualize, design, build, and release a new product. Consequent­ly, our graduates are confident, outstandin­g profession­als who lead customer engagement­s, are the benchmark for technology excellence and become the core around which larger teams can be built. As a strategic initiative to transform organizati­on wide talent, StackRoute partners with enterprise­s to co – create bespoke StackRoute Digital Skills Academy. Our outcome based learning delivery model have graduated 1000+ programmer­s on the path to becoming full stack digital developers. Due to our Mastery learning approach, we guarantee a > 90% achievemen­t rate. It is acknowledg­ed that participan­ts almost uniformly become self-learners and have the confidence to take on tough challenges. All StackRoute programs work with an intensive experienti­al and apprentice­ship based model and are practition­er led. These programs constantly evolve to stay relevant and on the cutting edge of technology and are also customized for specific needs.
