Accel Transmatic Ltd has announced that Accel Academy Ltd (AAL), training arm of the Accel group and a wholly owned subsidiary of Accel Transmatic Ltd has been appointed exclusive 'Academic Co-ordinator' for Tamil Nadu region, for specialized courses being offered by Karnataka State Open University.
Dr. Janardan Jha, Senior Adviser, Dayananda Sagar Global Education (DSGE) announced this tie up between AAL and DSGE during his visit to Accel headquarters, on October 16, 2007.
Mr. N R Panicker, Chairman, Accel group, of Companies, acknowledged this appointment as a recognition for Accel Academy, which has 16 years of experience in IT Training industry and a large presence in Tamil Nadu and Kerala through its own Centers.
With the arrangement with Karnataka State Open University, Accel Academy will offer University Degree Programs and Post Graduate Diploma programs in selected sectors such as Computer Science, Business Administration, BPO, Forensic Technology & Cyber crime, Audio & Video Production and Retail Management.
The courses are focused on meeting industry demand and are designed to enhance knowledge in functional areas important to the corporate sector. AAL now offers these courses from Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) through their study centers under the Distance Learning Methodology. Dr. Jha pointed out that the courses have been selected based on the large number of employment opportunities being thrown up in these sunrise sectors, which face severe talent crunch. Accel Academy, with its training industry experience and well-spread network of Centers is an ideal partner to effectively execute such programs and enable large-scale career development.
