According to the MoU, IBM would use the expertise of Vasavi College of Engineering to run this programme for its Hyderabad-based employees. IBM will bear the execution fees for this programme that includes venue, faculty, infrastructure, examinations, internal assessments, stationary, and library usage.

IBM India’s ACE programme is aimed to groom technical talent at workplace. This unique programme provides the non-engineering employees of IBM India with an opportunity to upgrade their skills and qualification by doing a four-year MS programme in Software Engineering, IBM said in a statement.

Dr K Guru Prasad, Learning and Knowledge - Education, IBM India, said, “This programme will play a significant role in helping us tap a fresh talent pool while simultaneously helping IBMers enhance their qualifications in the engineering sector. This MoU with Vasavi couldn’t have come at a better time as it enables IBMers to be a step ahead in the technology ready workforce.”

IBM has been one of most aggressive recruiters in the Indian marketplace. From 38,500 employees in December 2005, IBM augmented its workforce to 53,000 as of December 2006. IBM India operations in Hyderabad delivers application and IT infrastructure services to client globally.
