Empowering Future Talent Through Strategic Collaboration
At OCS India, our commitment to TRUE Values — Trust, Respect, Unity, and Empowerment — drives every initiative. In a landmark move, OCS India, a leader in providing Critical Facility Management services for the Data Centre industry, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Don Bosco Industrial Training Institute, Kurla, Mumbai.
This strategic partnership aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements by equipping students with real-world skills in Data Centre critical facility management operations.
Addressing Data Centre Industry Challenges
India’s Data Centre capacity has surged over the past five years, mirroring the country’s rapid digital transformation. This rapid growth has created a rising demand for skilled talent in critical areas of MEP and Fire Safety systems.
Today there is a gap between demand and supply of skilled and trained resources, leading to difficulty in sourcing trained professionals for Data Centre industry.
To address this need OCS India has taken up the responsibility of establishing a training ecosystem that will create a sustainable pipeline of certified professionals ready to take up roles in the Data Centre industry.
“This is a strategic step towards training young talent for the fast-growing Data Centre industry. As Data Centres continue to grow across India, the demand for skilled, industry-specific trained talent is also rising. Thank you, Fr. Anthony Pinto – Rector & Director and Mr. Amar G Prabhu – Principal for engaging with OCS for this initiative.”
