Kolkata: The education services division of Tata Infotech will venture into the US and European corporate training market in the next financial year (2002-2003). According to Mr Rahul Thapan, head of the education services division of Tata Infotech, the division will start offering corporate training packages to the existing and new foreign customers of its systems integration business. This will be a part of the total implementation package of Tata Infotech. "Our system integration division is working in more than 100 foreign companies to implement various IT projects. The workforce of these companies always need training in areas of new technology and skill upgradation. We will offer long-term structured training courses to these foreign companies through our education division," said Mr Thapan. The initial plan of the company is to move jointly with the system integration division and to offer a training module for the workforce along with the IT project implementation. The mode of delivery will be both instructor-led and computer-based training. "In the past we had trained personnel of US and Europe-based companies. But those training modules, in association with our system integration division, were for a specific time period. Now we want to do it throughout the year, catering to the needs of the corporates," added Mr Thapan. According to industry estimates, last year the education division of Tata Infotech had earned a revenue of around Rs 58 crore out of the total group revenue of Rs 524 crore. Mr Thapan said that the education service business division of Tata Infotech was likely to have a growth rate of around 50 per cent during the current fiscal mainly owing to the surge in the corporate training market.
