Innovative AI Skills Training in Partnership with SARK-Tech
With the aim of providing international career opportunities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) to students not only in metropolitan cities but also in Tier-II and Tier-III towns, the Salesians of Don Bosco (Hyderabad Province) have officially launched the Don Bosco AI Academy.
The initiative was announced at a press conference held on Wednesday at Don Bosco Provincial House in Kismatpur, Bandlaguda Jagir, Hyderabad, where the brochure outlining the programme was also unveiled.
The academy has been established in partnership with SARK-Tech, a leading AI training organisation.
Speaking on the occasion, Father Thomas Santiago said that Hyderabad would serve as the central hub for the initiative. The academy aims to equip students with advanced AI skills, along with English communication, interview preparation and employment opportunities.
Two Specialised AI Training Programmes
The academy will offer two specialised training programmes:
1. AI for Non-AI People (30 Hours):
Designed for students from Commerce, Arts, Management and Science backgrounds, this programme does not require any coding knowledge. Students will receive training in prompting, Generative AI tools and startup pitches.
2. Agentic AI for CS Students (40 Hours):
This programme is designed for Computer Science and Engineering students. It will provide hands-on training in designing and deploying practical AI agents.
Special Training Initiatives and Career Support
Father Thomas Santiago further announced that the academy would organise 10 offline boot camps over the next 90 days, targeting teachers, women entrepreneurs, representatives of voluntary organisations and young people.
The academy will also establish a mentor panel comprising 15 experts from the corporate and startup sectors. Every student will be provided with a Digital Job-Readiness Passport to help them prepare for employment opportunities.
The programme is aimed at making advanced AI education accessible to students from diverse backgrounds and geographical locations, enabling them to compete for global career opportunities.
