TalentSprint Launches Digital Skill Cards for Young Job Seekers With Infrequent and Limited Internet Access

HYDERABAD, India, October 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

The Company's New ZIP Offering Combines Self-learning With Employment Access 

With the higher education system steadily failing to impart employable skills to its graduates, TalentSprint, India's leading youth career platform, is offering an innovative solution to help young graduates launch aspirational careers in the IT sector. Its new ZIP program revolves around a digital skill card, which is a learning-cum-employment aid for young graduates that cannot afford or do not have a reliable and continuous access to the Internet. ZIP is a fully digital self-help platform that allows young job seekers watch interactive video lessons, take multiple practice tests, obtain personalized performance analytics, and reference personalized study material to enhance their current skill sets and make themselves more employable. Moreover, the ZIP platform allows them to access job opportunities with TalentSprint's expanding partner network of 700+ employers.

Sharing his thoughts on ZIP, K. Sridhar, Chief Digital Officer, TalentSprint, said, "The new ZIP platform allows fresh graduates and first-time job seekers to empower and upskill themselves on their own accord and compete successfully for aspirational jobs. This can be done even as they lack access to good college classrooms or good Internet facilities. ZIP addresses the gap between the surge in college graduates and high employment expectations, thus reducing unemployment." 

With a mission to empower one million youth realize their career dreams, TalentSprint is popular for its Industry-centric, comprehensive, well-designed and easy-to-learn programs on the cloud in order to help rural and semi-urban youth overcome traditional barriers such as gender, geography, and privilege. With the growing gap between those seeking employment and those who are employable, it has become imperative for aspirants to seek professional support in order to realize their dreams. However, different aspirants are at different levels of readiness and a one-size-fits-all classroom programs does not solve this problem completely. Keeping this in mind, TalentSprint launched its ZIP program which enables one to identify their areas of strengths and weakness and prepare accordingly thereby zipping towards their dream job faster than a fixed duration program.
