Make the right beginning

They say well begun, is half done. As you embark on a professional life, choosing the right project can ensure you get the right beginning.

Lack of project exposure is one of the biggest challenges faced by IT companies while recruiting new hires, like you. To bridge this gap, IBM Career Education Program provides an opportunity in Experiential Learning to work on projects based on real –world problems, rather than industry simulations. Make the right beginning with a project that required practical knowledge to back-up theories you have mastered.
Get the right experience :

• Choose from a variety of industry aligned projects based on real
  world challenges solved by IBM using cutting edge technologies
• Blend IT skills, knowledge and industry best practices
• Learn and work with enterprise class tools and methodologies
• Get expert coaching and mentoring
• Get yourself evaluated and certified by IBM

Take the lead with industry leaders

IBM Software and other technologies are widely used in leading organizations across industries today and the Experiential Learning module is designed to familiarize you with the technologies you are most likely to encounter in your career. Through application of knowledge, reflective thinking, hands-on exploration and team interaction, this live work experience will familiarize you with industry-standard methodologies like RUP and IBM Rational Tools and deployment on IBM Middleware.

The various industries you could find yourself in:

What will you work with

• UML diagrams like Use Case, Class, Sequence Activity, Object diagram using IBM Rational
  Software Architect or IBM Rational Rhapsody
• Database design and implementation using IBM DB2
• Reach and user-friendly user interfaces
• Developing application using IBM Rational Application Developer
• Developing Test Cases and scripts using Rational Quality Manager and Functional Tester
• Running a deployable application using IBM Websphere or integrating with various
• supporting hardware for Embedded Systems

What you will learn

• Specific knowledge about an industry/domain and its requirements
• Choosing the right process models/methodology to suit the requirements of the project
• Analysis and design of application using UML diagrams like Use Case, Class, Sequence,
  Activity Diagram etc
• Accommodating non – functional requirements including user management, security etc
• Applying object-oriented programming concepts like re-usability, encapsulation,
  polymorphism, inheritance etc while developing an application
• Release management like version, build and test plans and testing the application

What people are saying
Institute of Technical Education and Research, Bhubaneshwar

The Summer Training that IBM provided at our institute last summer (May-June 2011) was one of most fulfilling courses in our course of B.Tech study. We were taught right from the basics of DBMS, gradually moving on to SQL and DB2. We were also taught JAVA from the scratch along with HTML and a little bit of CSS. We were exposed to various industry leading software like DB2 and Websphere. The way the course was structured helped us in ways more than one for the successful completion of our Summer Project “Smart Hiring System”.

IBM career education program is a unique platform for the engineering students like me to explore the wealth of cutting edge technologies, expensive software tools and workshops. It basically reduces the gap between technical institutions and industry and makes a student industry ready. It provided me the opportunity to solve the real project problems using emerging technologies and enterprise class software like DB2, Websphere. This experience gave me an edge over others during Job Recruitment Drive as most of the companies use IBM products. The IBM certification added weight to my resume, and I was one among 49 candidates recruited to CAPGEMINI from my university. Thank you IBM for taking such an academic initiative.
