| Industry – Academia Partnership
The banking and financial services sector is undergoing an unprecedented growth. Today the
banking sector employs 9 lakh people and estimated to employ 15 lakh by 2012. However, one of
the crucial impediments to growth is the acute shortage of manpower talent of this specific nature.
The Banking and Financial Services Industry (BFSI) requires employees with the solidity of domain
knowledge blended with contemporary skills. In view of this emerging skill gap, ICICI Bank has
pioneered the partnership with Academia by working closely with Universities and Colleges
across the country since August 2006.
ICICI Bank has collaborated with Universities and colleges at the graduate level to vocationalize
education. This is being done through:
- Designing curriculum and developing content on BFSI sector
- Offer Banking & Financial Sector Industry (BFSI) course for graduates
- Providing access to a bouquet of e-Learning modules hosted on a web platform
- Faculty Development Programs
The blend of theoretical information, self paced e-learning courses and practice/skill development
education provides adequate knowledge and practice for students who wish to commence their
career in banking. This collaboration will help academia prepare young people to handle banking
transactions and services.
This collaboration is likely to change the face of young banking recruits – from tentative starters to
confident professionals.
