If you have completed engineering degree and could not get a placement, then HCL Corporation is at hand to help you.

HCL Corporation has come out with a six-month residential programme called HCL TalentCare. The objective is to hone the abilities of engineering graduate students with additional skills for effective employment and also to bride industry-academia skill gap.

HCL TalentCare would address a wide spectrum of entry-level employability needs by creating a ready talent pool of professionals for enterprises in IT, healthcare, insurance and banking sectors.

Launched on a pilot basis in Manesar last year, HCL TalentCare sourced, skilled and staffed over 600 graduates into entry-level roles. During the current year, the company aims to prepare 2,000 students by taking forward the programme to Chennai and Hyderabad, said S. Premkumar, Chief Mentor of HCL TalentCare. Pvt. Ltd.

“There is a talent divide that been created as more than 75 per cent graduates today are not job-ready. India Inc. is witnessing high attrition rates of 20 per cent and above because of expectation mismatch at 0-3 year experience band that is hurting enterprises very badly,” he said.
