In a significant development, our campus, FISAT, has partnered with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Government of India, to establish industry-supported labs named the FISAT Centre for Future Skills (CFS). The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on April 4, 2025, at NSDC's office at New Delhi. With a total funding of nearly seven crore rupees, primarily from NSDC, these labs will deliver skill development courses with globally recognised certifications.
The FISAT Centre for Future Skills will provide over 200 courses certified by leading industry giants, including Apple, IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Amazon AWS, Intel, Siemens, ABB, ANSYS, MathWorks, Adobe, Autodesk, Meta, Palo Alto, VLSI, UiPath, and Schneider. Ethnotech Academic Solutions Pvt. Ltd. will manage and operate these courses on the FISAT campus. The initiative aims to certify approximately 3,500 students annually, significantly enhancing their employability.
FISAT is the first and only institution in Kerala selected by NSDC for this prestigious Centre, marking a milestone in the state's educational landscape. This collaboration underscores FISAT's commitment to bridging the skill gap and preparing students for future-ready careers. By equipping students with cutting-edge skills and global certifications, the FISAT Centre for Future Skills is poised to transform technical education and empower the next generation of professionals.
