  • Financial Mathematics
  • Economics
  • Data Literacy (Excel)
  • Communication Skills
  • Positive Attitude and Professional Mindset

In response, our team has thoughtfully designed an intensive 3-week training program tailored specifically to meet IBM’s expectations and industry standards.

  • Venue: Sri Sathya Sai Skill Development Center, Khairatabad

From this batch, 10–15 eligible and well-performing candidates are expected to be considered for opportunities aligned with IBM’s requirements.

We extend our heartfelt wishes to all the students embarking on this new journey of learning and transformation. May this program open doors to meaningful employment and a brighter future.

May Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba bless these students with knowledge, confidence, and success, and guide us always in our efforts to serve more youth.
