From The Project Management Specialist (PMS)-LICT

“I was curious to know about students’ perception about the ongoing training program. So planned a visit with Anurag and Kamal from EY. Facing the students, I asked a simple and straight question: How many of you will recommend this training program being conducted by EY to your juniors?

To my delight, all 35 students raised their hands instantly.”

Students are well connected to the trainers and coordinators through online monitoring and feedback system. There is a growing focus on establishing strong relationships with the industries for the placement. From this month, we are going to spread our wings and reach out to train the talent outside Dhaka as well. Finally, we have received very encouraging response to our Eid Special issue (Oct, 2015).We shall continue to look forward to your enthusiastic participation in this project of national importance.

I highly appreciate the initiatives taken by EY to integrate the industry stake holders from the very start to ensure young talents coming out of their training programs can meet the industry need across the board. These initiatives will surely lay the foundation for the next big leap for our IT industry in coming years. ‘'
