The Story in Brief
The second batch of a Data Centre operations management training programme, supported by Microsoft, was launched on Friday at Young India Skills University in Hyderabad. Implemented by United Way of Hyderabad and accredited by YISU, the course is held at the IIIT Hyderabad campus. Forty students have enrolled for the latest batch.
The programme builds on the first batch, which achieved an 80% placement rate. The launch event included YISU Vice Chancellor VLVSS Subba Rao, Microsoft APAC Data Centre Community Affairs Director Tianji Dickens, and Rekha Srinivasan from UWH.
The Indian Opinion
The 80% placement rate from the first batch is encouraging, but the hype around skilling programmes often masks the real question: will these jobs pay a living wage or merely create a pool of low-cost labour for global tech firms? The real test will be the salary data from this second batch. If the average offer is below Rs 30,000 a month, the programme risks being a PR exercise dressed as empowerment.
