TCS Talent Transform - Science Grads To Software Pros

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is hitting the wall for qualified developers. So, in the classically-Indian mode of acknowledging a problem head-on, committing serious resources to fixing it, and developing an elegant, pragmatic, long-term solution, they've launched TCS Talent Transformation: a deep-investment initiative that turns science grads into software pros.

Says S. Padmanabhan, Global Head of HR for TCS: "Good science graduates have attributes like logic and reasoning that are important in the technology services industry. We believe that our transformation program is the way forward to help induct graduates with varied academic backgrounds into the IT industry."

500 graduates are now enrolled in the seven-month program, which blends formal study of computer science, techniques of programming and system architecture, languages and techniques, IDEs and development environments (including TCS-proprietary tools), development disciplines and best-practice, along with soft skills like team building, management and presentation. Another 2,000 will receive offers to join the program this year, as TCS scales up.
