The need for capacity building in the telecom sector is growing with 5G on the way. To address that need, the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC) has partnered with the Chinese telecom gear giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. The partnership was announced by TSSC on Monday. Together, Huawei and TSSC have opened a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for IoT (Internet of Things) in Patna, India.

The inauguration was graced by the chief guest Shri Ravi Shankar Prasad (former IT minister), who lauded the efforts of TSSC, citing the growing economy of states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh. The CoE will cater to roles in Information and Communications Technology, Cyber Security, Electronics and Communication, including Technical, Services and allied fields. This includes job roles for Internet of Things (IoT), Call Centre Executive, ToT, and ToA, among others.
On the occasion, Mr Ravi Shankar Prasad (former IT minister) said, “TSSC is fulfilling the need of the hour by creating high-end skill centres to cater to demand from the youth. We need more industry-aligned training to empower our youth with advanced skills like 5G and IoT. I want to see more being done for the state of Bihar.”
The MoU, which has been signed for a period of five years, is aimed at the skilling/reskilling/upskilling of aspiring students to enhance their employability through training in innovative technologies. This includes finding a potential sponsoring agency (govt./private) for developing the suitable infrastructure at NIT Patna for smooth conduction of the training programmes. The CoE will also train the Trainer and Assessor program for certifying trainers and assessors.
