A well-known US-based e-lancing company, oDesk (www.odesk.com), has started its apprentice programme at Punjab University College of Information Technology (PUCIT), to equip the online market place with more technical manpower. The programme is directed towards IT students who are in their last year of technical education.
PUCIT will provide a well-equipped, state of the art computer laboratory to help these students get training and utilise their learning experiences on a practical map. oDesk has prepared a special course for these students approved by oDesk's marketing and copyright departments. PUCIT had carried out an internal written test and created a merit list based on overall academics of applicants and their performance in the written test. Top candidates from the merit list were interviewed by oDesk Country Manager. During the first cycle, a total of 20 students were selected. PUCIT is one of the largest IT institutes of Pakistan and is known for the high quality of their students and graduates. The college holds the distinction of being the very first institute to participate in this apprentice programme in-house.
