NIIT has launched two new career catalyst programmes for high school graduates interested in exploring the fields of Java and Data Science. These six-week online courses, namely the Data Science Foundation Programme and the Java Foundation Programme, are carefully curated by industry professionals and offer students practical experience in real-world business scenarios. By enrolling in these programmes, students can gain a head start in developing skills and exploring potential career paths.

The Data Science Foundation Programme focuses on developing core skills in data analysis, data visualization, programming, and RDBMS.

With the launch of these programmes, students can utilize their time effectively by gaining valuable insights and honing their skills, which can give them a competitive edge. NIIT aims to empower young minds through transformative learning experiences, equipping them with the knowledge and expertise to embark on successful professional journeys.

As remote learning and online education become increasingly popular, these programmes offer an excellent opportunity for young learners to connect with the corporate world and stand apart from their peers by honing skills in Java and Data Science.
