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

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.

The TPO Network
The TPO network can act as a practical information channel for employer requirements, student employability, internships, placement preparation and industry expectations. Participation should be described as associative unless formal partnership is established.
