IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation is collaborating with Cambtech Training and placement firm to offer certification programmes in the supply chain and logistics sector.

The courses are designed to provide students with a simulated environment (virtual office), giving them a real-life simulation of the actual work environment throughout the courses. An artificial intelligence platform will provide the students with a virtual corporate environment for carrying out various financial transactions in real time.

The first batch of this course will commence on January 1. The last date to register for this batch is December 25. Interested candidates can register through the following link: digitalskills.iitmpravartak.org.in/courses.php

The certified programmes will be offered in supply chain management, chartering practice, port and terminal management and international liners trade. A certificate will be issued by Cambtech and the knowledge partner IITM Pravartak on the completion of the course.

The training would help students obtain an experiential learning equivalent to about three months of actual corporate working experience in each of these courses and make them job-ready.

The fundamental knowledge for all the training modules in supply chain and logistics has been provided as a series of lectures by an expert and former head of the Management studies department, Prof. G. Srinivasan who has also been associated with IIT Madras for more than 30 years as a faculty member and Coordinator for establishing ISO Standards in IIT Madras.
