India firms warn on IT skills gap


Business leaders have warned that India's information technology (IT) industry is heading towards a severe shortage of highly-skilled manpower

Intel (India) president Frank B Jones told the conference that it was becoming more and more difficult to find the required skills among school leavers and graduates in India.

He said that firms hiring people with basic level skills from universities found that it took a very long training programme to integrate them into the companies' work culture.

As a way out, companies like Intel had started relying on those skilled Indians who - having worked in the US for several years - now wanted to return home.

Frank Jones said that about 10% of Intel's work force had come back through that programme.

india outsourcing and indian management know only one thing -- take fresh college grds and train them on rotten routine maintenance projects. most of the guys who were in the companies also grown up that way managing these grads. how will they find techys. Everyone needs training for everything.

corporates starting to love training and spoon feed these guys so that they can get rid of the high cost guys having gcs, waiting for gcs... if anybody is hoping for any immigration reforms, they can continue to dream on. corporates and the public are not interested in any changes.
 
thas last but one paragraph sums it all how current immigrantion can do reverse brain drain to India.

If I were in Intel I would really consider offer to go back to India rather than waiting forever here for my green card.

this will only increase outsourcing!

sadly neither senators nor people voting today understand this simple theory
