The company aims to bridge the skills-gap across industry and transform graduates in to professionals by offering industry specific courses in BFS (Banking and Financial Services Industry), Media, Organized Retail, Hospitality and Healthcare.
 
TimesPro provides an interactive platform for students to engage in real time projects, offering them critical hands-on experience vital for career success. The professional training is supplemented by well researched, industry-relevant curriculum and training content prepared by specialists, vetted by industry experts. TimesPro’s methodology is uniquely positioned in today’s corporate scenario wherein more & more companies are seeking day one performance ready talent.
 
Mr. Deepak Lamba, President, Times Centre for Learning, said, “Our endeavour is to ensure that through TimesPro’s unique & modern training methodology and our deep relationships with various industries, we provide graduates with the relevant professional skills so that they become 'industry ready' and hence have a clear advantage when it comes to their employment. Our deep relationships with the industry also allow us to showcase our students to the industry and hence facilitate jobs.”

This training & education initiative is taking lead from the fact that there exists a large gap between industry requirement and skillsets of fresh graduates.
