The first course, the Full-Stack Web Development Certification, is designed to equip students with both front-end and back-end development skills. The demand for full-stack developers has grown by 30% year-on-year due to the expanding fintech and e-commerce industries, with projections indicating a 17% increase in demand by 2033. This surge underscores the critical need for qualified tech professionals.

The program offers learners a comprehensive education, combining expert-led sessions, hands-on case studies, guest lectures, and industry-relevant projects. With coursework co-developed by faculty from IIT Madras and Coding Ninjas, participants will be immersed in an academic ecosystem that promotes practical skills for real-world applications.

Beyond technical training, the courses incorporate AI-driven learning tools designed to improve comprehension and problem-solving abilities. Participants will also benefit from job placement assistance, including resume-building support, mock interviews, and access to an exclusive job board.

Dr. MJ Shankar Raman, CEO of IITM Pravartak, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, noting that it aligns with IIT Madras’ mission to equip students with skills that meet the evolving needs of the global tech industry. By bridging the gap between academic theory and industry practice, this initiative ensures that learners are not only prepared for current job markets but also competitive on the global stage.

The program structure is designed to cater to both fresh graduates and professionals seeking to transition into the tech industry. Upon successful completion, graduates will receive a Professional Certificate from IIT Madras, further enhancing their employability in a booming sector.

With the tech industry showing no signs of slowing down, these certification courses are a timely opportunity for professionals to enhance their skills and remain relevant in one of the fastest-growing sectors globally.
