 Infosys enables the faculty of partner colleges through seminars and workshops to give them an industry perspective. The courseware, which is published in the Campus Connect portal, adds value to the existing college courseware and highlights the integrated, systems way of looking at hitherto discrete topics. This is the same courseware they use at Infosys to prepare new recruits to global industry-ready standards.
