PCCE joins EMC Academic Alliance, to offer a course in information storage technology
PCCE has signed an agreement with EMC (Benelux) B.V. SARL, a subsidiary of EMC Corporation, to join the EMC Academic Alliance Program (EAA) in India
As part of EAA, PCCE will receive vendor agnostic curriculum, course content, learning materials, faculty trainings and software simulators developed by EMC, to provide training to their students. EMC will also provide program support in terms of examination papers and sample assignments. Under EAA, EMC has forged alliances with over 75 education institutions across India. And today, more than 3000 students are enrolled in similar information storage courses across India as part of the EAA.
The EMC Academic Alliance is an initiative by EMC to work with the leading educational institutions around the world to address the emerging knowledge gap in storage technologies and developing a resource pool of skilled and certified storage professionals. This is the only program in the industry which offers a vendor neutral, product agnostic storage technology curriculum to the students. Some of the EMC Academies include BITS Pilani, IIIT Bangalore, PSG Tech, UPTEC and Manipal Institute of Technology.
Information is growing at an explosive rate and organizations are struggling to manage this dramatic growth. In the background of this information deluge, Information management and storage has emerged as a promising career for students. EMC is committed to empower the students with best-of-breed skills that will help them face the real world challenges and have a successful career.
On the successful completion of the course, students will receive a certificate from PCCE and EMC acknowledging the completion of the course. These students will be better prepared to clear the EMC Associate Storage Technologist Examination, one of the world’s most recognized information storage and management certification.
