New Delhi: TERI SAS has signed an MoU with Cisco Networking Academy for a long-term collaborative engagement to equip children with job opportunities in their specialised fields. The campaign was launched to help young people confront their lack of digital literacy and move toward sustainability.
As a result of the MOU, TERI SAS will have access to comprehensive technical skills and a career-building programme with a reputation for educating young people and development enthusiasts for success in a connected world, which is now closely related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Professor Prateek Sharma, VC of TERI SAS, praised the MoU as a pioneering effort in India's sustainability industry during his speech. TERI SAS and Cisco Academy will be able to teach technology skills and career-building to students using the Cisco Networking Academy curriculum and tools with this collaboration.
