In a joint statement, Info-Tech and MMU emphasized that the MoU represents a mutually advantageous partnership, as both entities are committed to delivering educational opportunities and industry exposure to students, thus contributing to the cultivation of a proficient workforce.
The statement also highlighted the increased reliance on digital tools by businesses and educators since the pandemic’s onset. This shift underscores that digital transformation is no longer a trend but a critical necessity for companies striving to remain competitive.
