“Hero’s decades of research and understanding of the Indian education and job landscape, combined with MIT’s advanced expertise in science and technology, is poised to bring…specialised programmes to Indian job seekers,” Hero Vired said.

Programmes and other initiatives under this multi-faceted relationship are designed to provide knowledge and skills that are relevant for emerging job profiles and are highly desired by the industry, it explained.

“At Hero Vired we are …particularly excited about integrating the MITx MicroMasters® programs into our PG Certificate Programs, as HeroVired students who complete an MITx MicroMasters program will be able to apply to Master’s programs at universities around the world that offer an accelerated path to degree completion to admitted MicroMasters credential holders,” said Akshay Munjal, founder and chief executive of Hero Vired.

“We are confident that Hero Vired’s unique offerings and industry exposure will be able to produce individuals with hireable skills required for the jobs of the future,” he said.
