Wipro announces Skill Enhancement Programme for Students

Wipro has announced the launch of a nationwide skills enhancement initiative for undergraduates in the finance and accounting domain, in an e-learning format. The pilot programme of the initiative titled FINPro (Finance & Accounting Skills Enhancement Programme) has been launched in colleges in Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

The programme is targeted at undergraduate students pursuing the final year of Bachelors in Commerce (B.Com) or Business Administration (BBA) in India as well as graduates in these streams. The programme aims to enhance their employability in the finance and accounting and other related services sector.

Subhasish Biswas, Global Head - Business Excellence, Wipro BPO (a Division of Wipro Ltd.), said, "Our belief is that a readily employable workforce is the need of the hour. Wipro's expertise in training delivery in the IT and ITeS sectors enabled us to create FinPro - a platform that we are sure, a large number of youth will use as a springboard to chart successful careers in the domain of finance and accounts. This is the second such programme that we have initiated this year after the launch of WISEPro, which seeks to enhance the communication and soft skills of aspiring professionals."

The 24-hour programme consists of online modules in a self-paced format, that give the students the flexibility to work through the modules over a period of two months, alongside their core graduation course. The course modules are in a video-based PowerPoint Presentation format, which makes it easy to understand the concepts.
