Hyderabad: Computer education firm Jetking Infotrain is making a foray into the overseas computer hardware training market, with plans to open centres in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Nigeria next fiscal.
The institute, which has 100 centres across India, a majority of which is franchise-run, currently has a small presence in Vietnam with two centres.
“We will start with a 500-capacity centre each in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal, while the Nigerian outlet will have a 1,000-student capacity. We will be opening these centres through tie-ups with local partners,” Suresh G. Bharwani, Chairman and Managing Director, told Business Line.
Jetking, which has so far trained six lakh students in India, trains about 30,000 students in different computer hardware and networking fields.
“Last year, 50 per cent of the students had got immediate placements, including in top IT companies, with a minimum entry-level monthly salary of between Rs 10,000 and Rs 15,000,” he said.
The BSE-listed firm is tying up with the National Skill Development Council to implement a five-year programme involving vocational education through 400 centres. The council has agreed to fund about Rs 80 crore for the project.
