“Equip Your Engineering Graduates with Real-World Skills and Globally Recognized Apple Certification”
“Become an Apple Authorised Training Centre for Education (AATCe) and offer career-aligned, industry-valued training in coding, creative tools, and app development—right on your campus.”
2. Institution Snapshot
- 72% of employers say engineering grads lack hands-on coding and software skills.
- Placement rates are highest for colleges offering industry-recognized certifications.
- Apple tools (Swift, Final Cut, Logic Pro, iOS, macOS) are standards in engineering, design, and creative industries.
“Stand out by offering in-demand Apple certification and skills that employers are actively seeking.”
3. Top 3 Challenges
1. Making Students Career-Ready:
Employers expect practical experience in app development, coding, and creative tools—not just theory.
2. Standing Out in Accreditation and Rankings:
Without strong industry partnerships and certifications, improving NAAC/NIRF rankings and attracting top students is tough.
3. Keeping Curriculum Current:
Tech changes fast. Integrating the latest tools and certifications into the syllabus without disruption is a major challenge.
