Indian Institute of Hardware Technology (IIHT) Ltd, India’s leading technology training organization, along with Microsoft, announced at Cochin Infopark the launch of a Comprehensive Training Program – ICCE (IIHT Certified Cloud Expert) designed and developed to provide highly sought after Technical Skills required for Cloud Computing Jobs.

Leading International Research firm IDC estimates that cloud computing will generate 14 million new jobs worldwide by 2015. With India getting nearly 20 Lakhs Cloud Computing Jobs according to the findings of this new study commissioned by Microsoft, the launch of this ICCE program is a godsend to IT Job aspirants all over Kerala.

“A common misperception is that cloud computing is a job eliminator, but in truth it will be a job creator — a major one. And job growth will occur across continents and throughout organizations of all sizes because emerging markets, small cities and small businesses have the same access to cloud benefits as large enterprises or developed nations,” says John F. Gantz, Chief Research Officer and Senior Vice President at IDC.

The  ICCE Cloud computing program will help IT professionals and aspirants acquire the necessary skills required to become cloud professionals by acquiring hands-on expertise in multivendor virtualization solutions, IT infrastructure monitoring and management, along with private cloud designing and deployment skills.

All the Market Research firms and industry giants agree that the market for public cloud infrastructure, platforms and applications is already large and growing far more quickly than any other type of IT spending.

But for cloud computing to deliver its promise, I.T Companies need human resources with cloud computing competencies.  IIHT’s Cloud Computing program is the only program in the world to cater to this growing demand for trained & certified Cloud Computing experts to the IT Industry. IIHT would train and certify 100,000 Cloud professionals globally including India in the next 3 Years, who would partially fill in the 14 million jobs created in Cloud Computing.

Commenting at the launch Mr.Keshava Raju, CEO, IIHT said, “This course is a first of its kind that is exceptional and uniquely differentiated, trains people on Cloud technologies, using the Cloud and for the Cloud Industry.”
