Current Scenario
Introducing I-TAP
Software jobs constitute around 60% of total IT Jobs
IT Talent Acceleration Program (I-TAP) is a structured training initiative
which is Industry relevant, Near-Real, Structured based on inputs from
Organizations. The broad categories of the skills are
At present and as expected in future, the recruitment from the
Academia is the most preferred method of attracting and attaining the
required engineers to map onto the ever growing requirements.
The industries / organizations prefer fresh graduates with necessary
skills to execute the business in any one or more of the following
domains:
 Telecom Companies
 Business Houses & NGOs with IT departments
 Financial Institutions
 Healthcare organizations
Challenges
The Academia has been fairly successful in meeting the requirements
of the industry; the industries are more demanding in expecting the
faster learning ability of fresh engineers and looking to reduce the turnaround time of their training, in equipping them to meet the professional
demands.
Generating Quality along with Quantity is the most important major
challenge, faced by the Academia while trying to address the demands
of the varied needs of the Industries. Unfortunately, most of the
graduates coming out of Institutions are not equipped to be employed
by the industry directly, because of lack of Industry Ready Skills.
Organizations spend money and time subsequently in training the
graduates to be professionals. The organization ends up shelling out a
lot of money. Hence it’s a good catch, if the graduates are equipped with
these skills.
Industry continues to expect high quality Industry Specific, Technical
skills, Soft and Process skills. This is needed to perform the assigned
roles effectively and efficiently and their initial investments in terms of
getting the engineers to have these specific skills along with their
academic skills.

Acceleration Program
The engineers are also finding it extremely difficult in adjusting to the
corporate culture, as most of them head quartered in Americas and
European countries. While they have been trained on specific technical
and process skills, gaining soft skills takes time and gained mostly with
experience.
To map the gap between the Academia driven knowledge and the
industry expected skills, we, at Blue Lotus are proposing a program
which runs in parallel to the Academia curriculum and it provides ample
time for the aspiring engineers to gain the necessary skills before they
are part of any organization.
Proposed Solution: Industry - Academia Partnership
One of the possible solutions to the problem is to form formidable
partnership between the Industry and the Academia. Bridging what the
Industry requires while the candidates are still pursuing their graduation
by enhancing the skills that the Industry requires from the graduates
 Technical skills
 Process skills
 Soft skills
 Technical skills
 .NET Platform
 Java EE Platform
 Process skills
 Lifecycle Management in line with ISO and CMM standards
 Soft Skills
 Business Communication (email, telephone etiquettes)
 Presentation and Customer Focus
 Project Experience
 By Experienced Project Professionals
 Case Studies
 Developed and Deployed simulating On-site / Off-Shore
projects
Taking inputs on a continuous basis from the industry helps in
addressing the growing needs and the feedback from the participants of
the program helps in fine tuning the structure of the program.
I-TAP Delivery Model
The delivery of this program is structured in such way that the aspiring
engineers’ time and effort is well utilized as the Program is Delivered
Along With Academic Semesters, starting from the 3rd Semester of
their regular education. About 150 Hours program, per semester
including E-Learning Training (ELT), helps in learning at ones’ own
pace all the basic concepts. This forms the basics of the concepts and
the Instructor-Led Training (ILT) delivered through Industry certified
Trainers, helps in clearing the clarifications from ELT.
Learning Management System (LMS)
We use our LMS to monitor and record all learning activities of each
and every participant.
The important features are:
 Self learning content covering instructions, simulations, activities
and assessments
 Chat, Forums, Discussion Boards, Survey’s
 Tracking of learner activities
I-TAP = A Win-Win-Win Model
I-TAP is a winning formula for Organizations, Academic Institutions and
aspiring engineers.
The Organization benefit from the large number of High Quality
engineers produced after the program, readily deployable with a faster
learning curve. This results in cutting down, cost. They also need not
spend much time in training them further.
The Academia benefit by Leveraging Capabilities and Resources,
improved quality of engineers and increased placement rates.
The aspiring Engineers benefit from their early exposure to the industry,
and by equipping themselves with the industry-needed skills. The
increased placement opportunities and the focus on training and
education help them to focus on the required skills.
