Training, Startups and Research

The central opportunity is to create a systematic bridge between education and industry, students and professionals, faculty and technology, research and commercialization, startups and markets, businesses and solution providers, and knowledge and society.

ITCCF – IT Coaching Centres Foundation – can function as a proposed training ecosystem component within the broader ITBC framework.

ITCCF centres can communicate courses, trainers, technologies, duration, fees, subsidies where applicable, projects, internships, industry requirements and student outcomes.
