The first level will be common for all where the students will undertake a 14-hour ‘Digital 101’ course through Future Skills Prime. The curriculum for the second and the third levels will be tailored to the technology specialization chosen by the students.

It has been DXC’s focus to build a stronger future for society by enabling the youth of our country.

We look forward to welcoming several of these young aspiring professionals to intern with us at the end of the program.”
