Industry Expert Engagement
Edunet Foundation proposes to enhance program delivery by integrating EY GDS volunteers. This engagement serves as a valuable opportunity for students to gain insights into industry relevance. By involving volunteers in the educational process, students can benefit from real-world perspectives and experiences, enriching their understanding of the practical applications of their studies.
Placement Support
The student beneficiaries are given placement support by creating linkages with employers. These placement opportunities are provided through our LMS portal through which students get access to evaluate job and internship opportunities hosted by the Edunet Foundation. They can take up multiple-choice question tests on the LMS to refresh their technical skills and be confident for the first round of interviews.
