Tata Consultancy Services has announced its support to the Study India Programme (SIP) 2012, a UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI). The programme is believed to nurture the essential employability skills that businesses will look for in developing a best-of-breed workforce in an increasingly competitive global business environment.
Â
Shankar Narayanan, Director & Head, TCS (UK & Ireland), said, “In the UK, we are committed to develop local talent, support and encourage the new generation as they embark on their careers to equip them to be a part of a global workforce.  The Study India Programme is a part of our UK skills development initiatives that are geared towards helping to improve employability by encouraging social entrepreneurialism and a global mindset as well as strengthening knowledge through the world of work.”

Martin Davidson, CEO, British Council, said, “Today’s budding workforce will be the key to growing the global economy in the years to come. As our world becomes increasingly dependent on cooperation between different nations around the world, a global approach will be critical to deepening our relationships in order to maximise our nation’s competitiveness and overall prosperity. Innovation partnerships like the one that TCS is driving remain a strategic priority for the UK in our plans for economic development, so I welcome the time and effort the company is investing in this and encourage other private sector organisations to do the same.”
