With an aim to reduce the industry skill gap, Skill-Lync, a Y-Combinator-backed edtech startup, has announced that it will launch 30 free courses over the next six months. This initiative aims to provide invaluable resources to over 30,000 Indian engineers, helping them enhance their skills and knowledge at no cost.
These courses will address the lack of quality and application-based learning in the Indian undergraduate engineering education system. Skill-Lync’s platform currently boasts impressive course completion rates, with programs in topics like Automotive Design, Electric Vehicle Design, FEA, and much more.
“Our mission at Skill-Lync has always been to bridge the skill gap in the engineering industry by providing accessible, high-quality education. With the launch of these 30 free courses, we aim to empower over 30,000 students by equipping them with the practical skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers. We believe this initiative will make a significant impact on the engineering community, helping to foster innovation and drive growth in the industry.” said Suryanarayanan P, Co-Founder and CEO, Skill Lync.
This series of free courses will cover a wide range of topics across various engineering disciplines, ensuring that every student and professional can find something that suits their needs. To date, Skill-Lync has successfully launched three beginner-friendly courses specifically designed for mechanical engineers, and the platform is committed to expanding its offerings to include more diverse subjects in the coming months.
To further support its learners, the startup will offer certificates of completion for all courses. These certificates will serve as a testament to the skills acquired and can be a valuable addition to any engineer’s professional portfolio.
All courses will be available on Skill-Lync’s YouTube channel for a lifetime
