 NEW PRODUCTS/PROJECTS:
 
 Career Education in IBM Software (IBM-CEIS):
 
 In keeping with its mission of improving employability of graduates by
 expanding their knowledge base STG has renewed its alliance with global
 technology leader IBM. As an IBM CEIS partner STG offers training
 across leading IT tracks. It covers the entire gamut of IBM software
 bands- Rational, IM, DB2, Web Sphere, Tivoli & Lotus including Project
 Training for engineering colleges.
 
 Projects help students gain vital experience and skills that is
 required to lead in all walks of life. It not only inculcates the
 willingness to complete tasks, but also infuses confidence to voice
 opinions. While, theoretical knowledge is important to get an overview
 on a particular subject, it is via project a student gets to understand
 the subject in depth. Projects enable engagement and stimulate the
 curiosity to go beyond the dimensions of books and be creative. It
 teaches how to function together as a team, which is an important
 aspect in any work culture.
 
 The world outside requires future thinkers, who have the power to
 execute.  Projects can help a student become a part of the real world.
 IBM CEIS project training at STG is designed to address students
 career requirements. This program offers a unique hands-on learning
 experience, wherein students not only get an insight on the latest
 technology but also get the required skills needed to work in the real
 business environment. CEIS project empowers students with a vision to
 see the real world with confidence, a self belief that is essential for
 taking the first step towards a successful career.
 
 Employability
 
 It has been Indias most remarkable march that took it a long way from
 being perceived as a third world agricultural economy to a preferred
 center for technology and outsourcing services. With its mega bank of
 knowledge and
 
 skills asset, India has all the necessitated tools to mould the future
 of the world for good. With 23% of the increase in the worlds working
 population waiting to happen in next five years in India, debilitating
 rates of attrition and the difficulty of finding qualified people can
 pose a serious threat to this becoming a reality. Across industry, the
 same lament is heard: it is hard to find qualified people, and hard to
 retain them. The rising wages and cost of remedial training will be
 felt in a few years. India produces 441,000 technical graduates, nearly
 2.3 million other graduates and more than 300,000 post graduates. Many
 of these graduates may not find suitable employment. The high
 unemployment of our educated youth and the shortage of trained
 personnel is a strange paradox.
 
 STG- Adayana Workskills Program
 
 STG today is not only a mentor of IT professionals but it offers
 essential skills necessary for a brighter future of non IT students.
 STG, staying true of its mission of equipping students with skills that
 would help them to avail of better career opportunities has partnered
 with Adayana. Adayana is a leading Human Capital Development
 organization with its headquarters in Indianapolis, IN, USA and offices
 across Americas, EMEA, Asia. Adayana provides comprehensive learning
 services that leverage best-of-class and proprietary technologies and
 processes.
 
 Employability is the skeleton of the launch of Adayanas Workforce
 Development, its mission- to strengthen Indian economy. The increasing
 scarcity of procuring the right talent first and retain it then has
 become a largest cause of concern and to add to woes is the alarming
 rate of unemployment of our educated youth and unavailability of
 trained personnel has caused the Government, various industry and
 academic bodies in India sit up and take a serious cognizance of the
 need to inculcate skills leading to employment among youth.
 
 STG and Adayana recognize that in order to steer this massive change,
 there is a need to change traditional methods of teaching. The
 situation demands for imperative solutions that utilize the best global
 practices and provide them to our youth and leverage the power of
 technology to bridge gaps in a cost, time and reach effective manner.
 
 STG -Adayana Workskills Program is an instructor led e-learning program
 which aims to bridge the employability skill gap in the entry level job
 market. Being technology-enabled it offers advantages of scale. Being
 holistic in outlook its ensures effectivity.  The broad approach of the
 solution is to:
 
 Complement formal education:
 
 STG-Adayana Workskills Program complements formal education by adding a
 layer of skills and knowledge that prepare graduates for employment.The
 program covers effective English communication skills, basic computing
 skills as well as soft skills required to succeed in a work
 environment. The model is a refreshing contrast to programs that
 prepare professionals only in soft skills or a vocation stream. It
 provides a combination of soft skills and technical knowledge.
 
 Blended Model of Delivery
 
 The STG Adayana Workskills Program leverages the power of technology to
 address issues like scale of operations, reach and consistency of
 training.  This makes it a viable macro-strategic approach to the
 preparation of a large population for employment opportunities.
 
 The Online, Onsite model combines the advantages of Technology-based
 methods, with instructor-led classroom training and hands-on practice.
 Our delivery model is to offer these programs through universities and
 colleges where the students can pursue such training along with their
 regular education.

 to IDC, the Linux server market has clearly shifted into high gear,
 with increase in growth of server shipments configured with Linux as
 the primary operating environment exceeding other server growth rates

 the real IT world of system administrators, Java Programmers, database
