NEW YORK | MUMBAI, NOVEMBER 27, 2024: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has enabled 300,000 young individuals across 48 countries with digital skills in 15 years through its flagship Go Innovate Together (goITTM) program. To mark the milestone, TCS has launched new skilling initiatives to train the youth, especially from marginalized communities, in next-gen technologies, including AI, Gen AI and ML, to meet the requirements of the global digital economy.
goIT, a free digital innovation and career readiness program, has reached more than 300,000 students in 48 countries over the last 15 years. Designed to bridge the skill gap in science and technology fields, the program brings together industry and TCS experts to offer training in mobile app design, microprocessors, IoT, and AI & ML.
Balaji Ganapathy, Chief Corporate Social Responsibility Officer, TCS, said, "We celebrate the power of student changemakers, transforming their communities by using 21st century skills and digital technologies to solve real world problems. It is the perfect way to honor a program that has been helping the youth strengthen their economic futures and establish an innovative edge. My greatest joy is to see over 50% girls and 70% minority students emerge empowered, bridging the equity gaps that are prevalent globally. Their innovative journey using tech like App Design, Cyber, AI, and IoT gives us the belief that we can expand access to such opportunities to every corner of the world."
The goIT program was launched in 2009 when a group of TCS associates in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, recognized a skill gap while looking for candidates for available positions. What started as a summer-camp experience teaching a few dozen students in the Cincinnati area to learn to code robots has grown into a prominent skilling initiative benefiting youth across the world.
In the past 15 years, a network of 21,500-plus volunteers have built a contemporary curriculum and delivered it through over 68,500 volunteering hours. GoIT program offers an array of programs for school districts like goIT Monthly Challenge, goIT Live, goIT Online, and goIT Work Experience and more. Since its inception, the goIT Monthly Challenge has had over 10,700 participants globally, bringing up concepts for tech-for-good solutions supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Over 260,000 students have availed goIT Live, the oldest and most widely adopted program, to bring innovation directly into the classroom or out-of-school program experience and more than 23,000 students have availed the opportunity to collaborate with industry leaders through goIT Work.
Peter Singh, Executive Officer, IT Services and Chief Technology Officer, Toronto District School Board, said, “We’ve been partnering with goIT since 2014, together building a strong system for curriculum delivery and developing the best practices that ensure the program thrives. Our students love goIT and we love the way it develops their digital literacy and their capabilities as thinkers and presenters. Their response to the program is a constant reminder of why I chose a career in education and why I come to work every day.”
TCS’ corporate social responsibility initiatives, including goIT, Ignite My Future, BridgeIT, Literacy as a Service and Youth Employment Program, have benefited 7.1million people around the world. These initiatives are designed to focus on K12 education, literacy to livelihood, employment through skilling, digital entrepreneurship, healthcare, digital inclusion, water, climate and sustainability.
