Most academic leaders across the world agree that to improve the effectiveness of higher education and increase the employ-ability of students, the only way forward is the collaboration of Industry and Academia.
Businesses and technologies are undergoing rapid changes all over the world, posing more competitive – challenges – both to the existing and emerging workforce. Newer technical skills and talents are becoming more crucial for students to enter and succeed in the real world. Higher education by itself, without industry aligned skills, is just not sufficient to be effective employees.
IBM has been an innovator of technology and solutions since 1911 and was the first to present to the world the ‘Discipline in Computer Science’ in 1960. Recognizing these crucial gaps between higher education and the industry needs, IBM has launched the concept of System Center Of Excellence (ScoE) – a much-awaited answer to the problems faced by the students, the academic institutes and the Industry!
