The partnership would enable thousands of Vietnamese students and IT professionals to gain skills and access to the latest Sun technologies, such as Java and Solaris.
Students of NIIT’s IT training in Vietnam and the Asia Pacific region will receive extensive instruction on two programming languages, Java and Solaris, and this course of teaching will be integrated into NIIT’s IT career program.
NIIT will also introduce short-term programs for students and professionals who want to improve their skills in these technologies.
Vijay Thadani, chief executive officer of NIIT, which is a global technology training and software solutions company, said Vietnam is one of the most important emerging IT markets in Asia.
“Sun’s Java and Solaris are among the fastest growing technologies adopted worldwide today,” Thadani said at the partnership launching.
“This collaboration will help students and IT professionals in Vietnam and the Asia Pacific region integrate into the global IT workforce.”
Gan Boon San, president of Sun Microsystems’ South Asia, said so far about 13,000 individuals have registered using Sun’s software and systems solutions in Vietnam – which include the Solaris Operating System, Java technologies, Sun Fire systems and Sun StorageTek.
“Partnering with NIIT in Vietnam reinforces Sun’s commitment to this fast-growing economy following the establishment of Sun’s Vietnam branch in February this year,” he said.
Established in 2003, NIIT Vietnam has trained more than 6,000 Vietnamese students and professionals and operates 28 training centers in 14 cities and provinces nationwide.
