IT services provider Satyam Computers Services Ltd said on Monday it has entered into an agreement with The University of Melbourne for enabling students of the varsity to do software development internship with the company each year.
"This alliance will enable up to 10 MU students to undertake a software development internship with Satyam each year," company Director and Senior Vice President (RBU APAC & MEIA) Virender Aggarwal said.
Satyam would recruit 20 software engineers from the university every year, he added.
The participants would undergo a three-month training course in India and China and upon completion of the programme, Satyam would place them on projects in Australia or one of its other 55 global locations.
In a filing on the Bombay Stock Exchange, Satyam said the alliance would increase opportunities for both Melbourne Information and Communication Technology students and businesses.
"Our students will have the opportunity for internships with Satyam, which will expose them to real-world problems in a commercial environment. It will clearly benefit both organisations," university Deputy Vice-Chancellor Vijoleta Breach-Maksvytis said.
The MoU was signed by the company's CEO and co-founder Rama Raju and Professor Breach-Maksvytis.
