Working executives can now opt for management programmes offered by the IIMs from the city itself. NIIT, a leading global talent development corporation, announced the launch of NIIT Imperia, a centre for advanced learning, in Jamshedpur today.The new institute will bring executive management programs from the country’s premier B-schools for working professionals in the city.

It would offer around 15 programmes costing between Rs 50,000 and Rs 2 lakh each. This includes short-term and long-term courses in general and functional management from prestigious institutes like IIM, Ahmedabad, Calcutta, Indore and Lucknow and IIFT, New Delhi.

The new centre situated at the Circuit House Area will use technology to connect the classroom with the faculty at the institutes. A broadband connection with a two-way audio-video software would enable this. To flag off the new training initiative, Udai Singh, the executive vice-president and head, NIIT Imperia, said: “It aims at enhancing the capabilities and productivity of working executives in the industrial hub of the region, thus enabling them to get an edge.

Having established its presence in the metros in the very first year of its operations, NIIT Imperia is now targeting other cities. This is its first centre in Jharkhand. “Jamshedpur is among the few cities in India where NIIT Imperia will make available its comprehensive portfolio of executive management programs,” said Singh.
