Overview
The Campus Connect Program aims at evolving
a model through which Infosys and engineering
institutions can partner for competitiveness to
enhance pool of highly capable talent for growth
requirements in the Information Technology (IT)
space. It is aimed at creating an effective means
of backward integration into the supply chain by
going into the college campuses from where the
IT industry gets the human resource for its
growth. The nation-wide program focuses on
preparing “industry-ready IT professionals” by
aligning and enhancing the engineering student
competencies with the needs of the industry.
Campus Connect is sharing with the academia
its technology training methods, courseware,
case studies, student project samples and other
such learning resources that have been
developed, practiced and perfected over the past
20 years.

FEP Objective
It is to share Infosys education experience by
bringing together several partnering engineering
college faculty members under one roof to
discuss the coverage of the given course, learn
from the team experiences and plan actions for
rolling-out the same in respective colleges.
