As per the reports, the enterprise training providers are experiencing a surge in enrollment in their information technology training programs.
Why Would This Happen?

The co-founder and CEO of a training provider of emerging technologies, Jigsaw Academy, Gaurav Vohra said, “The demand for upskilling programs has increased significantly in the last couple of months. Our programs are job-oriented and once these learners are upskilled, they will have an edge in terms of finding opportunities,”.
The online learning platform Udemy also has seen a 200% growth in overall enrolments for courses in India.
Which Courses Are In Demand?
The web development and data science have shown strong growth in technical categories i.e. 60% and 58% respectively.
The managing director, Udemy India, Irwin Anand said, “There has been a significant growth in course creation as well. For IT and software there has been a surge of 77% growth in courses being created on Udemy,”.
The professional learning company, Great Learning launched its Corporate Academy in April to enable companies to make the most of the time available during the lockdown.
