S.R.K.R Engineering College at Bhimavaram in West Godavari district has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Germany-based Steinbeis University to facilitate knowledge and skill transfer.
At a press conference on Thursday, the college secretary and correspondent S. R. Nishanth Varma said with the assistance of Indo-Euro Synchronisation, an organisation that works to bring young Indians closer to opportunities in Europe, the partnership deal was signed after he, along with the Head of the English Department in the college B.N.V. Lakshmi, visited the German University last month and held talks with its representatives.
He said besides facilitating knowledge and skill transfer, the partnership would also open new doors for employment opportunities to the students of the institution. As part of summer internship, students from the college would visit the German university for a two-week internship, while the partner university would also impart Nano Master’s courses in online mode.
Another employability-linked Master’s programme would provide the students an opportunity to study in the university and simultaneously work in the local industry with a decent stipend.
The Department of English in the college is also organising classes in German language, needed by students who aspire to study and work in that country.
