FRESH graduates who took part in a youth development programme have benefited from training in areas such as cybersecurity, data science, blockchain, and artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well as problem-solving, creativity and communication skills.

The Initial Learning Programme (ILP), launched by Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in 2020 in partnership with 19 leading universities, has trained fresh graduates across seven cohorts, with 160 trainees later offered permanent positions in the company.
