TalentSprint opens new campus in Hyderabad

TalentSprint today launched its new SmartCampus here, adding artificial intelligence to its digital platform for young job seekers.
According to a release, SmartCampus was inaugurated by Governor of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana E S L Narasimhan, who called for reinvention in education and skill development.
The 500-seater facility, which provides onsite industry-oriented learning for young job seekers, also houses digital studios and cloud platform to webcast the company's popular learning programmes to employment aspirants in smaller towns across the country.
TalentSprint also announced the release of Tia (Test Improvement Advisor), an artificial intelligence bot, to analyse skill gaps and performance challenges at an individual job seeker level, and recommend personalised learning paths to maximise outcomes and minimise time, it said.

"Tia will continually monitor the performance of each job seeker and benchmark them against competition and will provide directed learning by guiding each job seeker to specific learning material that can help them improve their own performance," it said.
Santanu Paul, Co-Founder and CEO at TalentSprint, said, "Our move into a larger and smarter campus with digital, mobile and cloud integration is part of our ongoing journey to help one million youth pursue their career dreams."

Narasimhan said, "Today what we require is skill development. This is the time for all of us to sit down and think what is wrong with our education system.

"Something definitely gone wrong with our education system, the capacity to think, innovate, ask questions or the intuitive system has collapsed, our educational system has just become a mechanical process, that's where the skill talent will provide a platform that will take us forward."
Stating that there is need to have a relook at the educational curriculum, the Governor said, "While we move into the digital world, are we, by any chance, shutting down our memory...Because today's kids work only on tablets and computers, ...Class work is on iPad, homework is on iPad, as a result what happens is the natural skills of hand-writing suffers, memory suffers, intuitive mind suffers."

"It is time for Government to reinvent education and there is no purpose in opening IITs, IIMs all over the place unless I have the right quality of faculty and right quality of education," the Governor said.
