Every year, about 15 lakh engineering graduates pass out from colleges across the country. However, studies show that only a fraction (about 3 percent) of these graduates secure good jobs. This is mainly due to a lack of required skills among the candidates. Accepting this challenge, Masai School and Sage University have come together to share their commitment and vision in preparing students for career success.

The partnership between Masai School and Sage University symbolizes a strong alliance that enables engineering students to develop their skills and enhance their employability. Masai School is dedicated to providing a comprehensive education that goes beyond theoretical knowledge and provides practical training tailored to the needs of the industry.

Known for its intensive coding boot camps and industry-relevant curriculum, Masai School has established a reputation for producing highly skilled software developers. By associating with Sage University, the brand aims to broaden the scope of education and empower students with holistic skill sets. Through this partnership, students will receive a blend of theoretical and practical training, ensuring that they are well-prepared for the demands of the industry.

Both stakeholders are actively working towards equipping students with the necessary skills and preparing them for the industry. The focus is not only on developing technical expertise but also on building essential soft skills which are critical for success in professional settings. The curriculum includes project-based learning, industry consulting, and real-world problem-solving, which enables students to gain practical experience and build a strong foundation for their careers.

To enhance employability, Masai School also conducts mock interviews, resume workshops, and career counseling sessions. A holistic approach ensures that students are well-prepared to navigate through the job market and secure rewarding employment opportunities.

Just as Masai School and Sage University have taken the initiative to teach the necessary skills to meet the demands of the industry, other universities and educational institutions can take inspiration from our collaboration. The success of this partnership highlights the importance of integrating practical training and industry-relevant skills into the curriculum. By aligning education with industry needs, institutions can ensure that students graduate with the skills required for employment.

The positive trend established by the partnership between Masai School and Sage University will encourage other institutions to re-evaluate their approach to education. This will motivate young learners and educators to prioritize industry-driven curriculum development, hands-on training, and strong industry connections. The change will not only benefit students but also contribute to the availability of highly skilled professionals who can contribute to economic development and innovation.
