Learning solutions provider Aptech Ltd said Thursday it had entered into a strategic tie-up with Italian training firm Seven Rings International to impart soft skills and corporate computing skill development among graduates.

Under the agreement, Aptech will be the exclusive training delivery partner in India for Seven Rings, which offers self development and professional empowerment courses.

'Organisations today are looking at recruiting people, who besides having the requisite technical skills, have the necessary soft skills to adapt to their work culture. Under this agreement, Aptech will share its expertise in corporate computing and soft skills development,' said its chief executive and managing director Pramod Khera.

The training programme, to be introduced in Mumbai initially, is a 40-hour course.

Seven Rings chairman Antonio Grasso said the partnership would ensure quality training and help transform a large number of people in the world into valuable professionals.

The company has set a target of training 10,000 graduates under this programme.
