Tech Mahindra Foundation - AWS Re/Start Program Collaboration To Offer Free Cloud Computing Training

Tech Mahindra Foundation, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of Tech Mahindra Ltd. has joined forces with Amazon Internet Services Private Limited (AISPL) to enable underemployed or unemployed individuals to start a career in cloud computing technology. The AWS re/Start program is a 12-week, in-person, skills-based training program that covers fundamental AWS Cloud skills as well as practical career skills, such as interviewing and resume writing, to help prepare individuals for an entry-level cloud position. The program will now be offered through Tech Mahindra SMART Academies of Digital Technologies in Hyderabad, Mohali, Visakhapatnam, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai, and Pune via online learning.

This program will be offered at no cost to learners, and previous technology experience is not required to apply. Through scenario-based exercises, hands-on labs, and coursework, students will learn to build programming language (Linux and Python), networking, security and relational database skills etc. Ultimately, participants will be prepared for an entry-level cloud role in the areas such as operations, site reliability, and infrastructure support. 

The program also prepares and covers the cost for participants to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Certification exam, validating their cloud skills with an industry-recognized credential. As part of this initiative, the first two cohorts have started on the 9th of February 2022. To apply for a cohort through the Tech Mahindra Foundation, click here.
