Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson has expanded the Connect to Learn initiative in India through its mobile broadband solutions which provides internet connectivity.
Ericsson said that the company's mobile broadband solutions now provide internet connectivity and access to a digital education program at 34 centers run by its partner Smile Foundation.
The centers make it possible for underprivileged youth to develop skills such as English proficiency and computer literacy through the Smile Twin E-learning Programme, with the objective of helping them find jobs in the retail and service sectors.
Santanu Mishra, Co-Founder and Executive Trustee, Smile Foundation, says: "Thanks to Ericsson, more than 70 percent of the educational material is now digital and the Connect to Learn initiative has made these training modules interactive and engaging, which promote student interest and participation."
Connect to Learn is a global education initiative launched in 2010.
The purpose of the initiative is to increase access to quality education, especially for girls, through the integration of technology tools and digital learning resources in schools across the globe. To date, the initiative has been launched for more than 120,000 students in 25 countries.
Helena Norrman, Head of Marketing and Corporate Relations, Ericsson, says: "The Connect to Learn initiative is an example of how public-private partnerships can facilitate socio-economic development. Our partnership with Smile Foundation helps young people develop new skills to support themselves and their families."
Smile Foundation is a national level development organization benefiting over 600,000 underprivileged children, their families and the community directly. It runs more than 250 welfare projects on subjects such as education, healthcare, livelihood, and women empowerment across 25 states of India, the statement said.
