At TCS we see the training and education of our people as a continuous value-adding process. This approach hones, improves and enhances their skills — and makes the organisation stronger.

TCS invests about 4 per cent of its annual revenues in training, a shining example of which can be seen at the state-of-the-art training centre in Thiruvananthapuram in the south Indian state of Kerala.Our training modules have been developed to serve the specific needs of individual employees, and are based on their needs at various stages of development in the organisation.

Consider our 'induction training program' (ITP), which is for all our recruits from engineering colleges. This is a specially designed, 77-day training course at the Thiruvananthapuram facility. The ITP is conducted with the objective of transforming engineers from diverse disciplines into software professionals.

Then there are the 'continuing education programs' (CEPs), which cover over 300 topics and can be delivered over a variety of channels: classrooms, computers, audio / video, contact sessions, seminars, conferences and workshops.
