NASSCOM and WorldSkills aligned with Akkado to execute the first-ever Cloud Computing skill contest at Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The event witnessed the great minds from 10 countries showcase their potential and skills in a 5-day mega affair.
The skill of cloud computing for WorldSkills Competition was led by SSC IT-ITeS NASSCOM and NSDC together with AWS India and Ctrls. Through the International Cloud Computing Challenge 2019, Cloud Computing Skill is being brought at the WorldSkills Competition for the first time in the upcoming global skills challenge scheduled for August 2019, in KAZAN, Russia.
