TALENTSPRINT- Delivering Technology-Enabled Experiential Learning Programs

By

Companies are looking for high quality talent with critical thinking skills but there is a talent gap as the majority of graduates are not equipped with the necessary skills required. In order to learn additional skills to impress the employers, fresh graduates need Career Accelerators. The career accelerators provide professionals a mix of technical and soft skills, career planning and work-based learning that help the graduates to be successful from day one on the job. However the biggest challenge they encounter in doing so is that they have to reach tens and thousands of people in a single class and there is no way for them to personalize the training.

Hyderabad headquartered Talentsprint has uniquely positioned itself in the market and provides personalized training by implementing Artificial Intelligence. It has developed TIA (Test improvement Advisor) which is a test score improvement bot that runs on artificial intelligence. It observes and analyzes the performance of every trainee during the exam and pinpoints exactly where the trainee is going wrong. TIA emails them uniquely personalized study plans, so each can understand and correct their own specific mistakes.

TalentSprint is built on the concept of experiential learning. They conduct two types of programs – one on enabling the trainees to score more in the competitive exams and the other one on enabling one to code professionally. They have built automated tools like ScoreMore and RightCode to enable experiential learning. ScoreMore provides a comprehensive personal learning plan for improving performance. RightCode enables one to submit code which is auto corrected and give specific feedback to the students. This coupled with online learning platform enables one to learn anytime, anywhere. “Faculty at TalentSprint has deep domain expertise and substantial industry experience, therefore the perspective of the industry is integrated into all the training and case studies they present. Constraints and challenges of typical industry situations are naturally incorporated into the training and discussed thoroughly as a part of the curriculum,” asserts Dr. Santanu Paul MD & CEO, TalentSprint.

The company is well-established on social media platforms like YouTube and facebook. It has over 600 videos on YouTube with over 202k subscribers and over 628k followers on facebook. They also have an online learning platform which has over 1.2 Million registered users from 27 countries.

TalentSprint is a Career Accelerator which caters to the needs of Recruiters and Learners. For learners, it provides Video Lessons, Live Classes, Reference Material, Exam Interface Mock Tests etc. For recruiters, it provides certified talent, off-campus recruitments etc. “Funded by Nexus Venture Partners and the National Skill Development Corporation, we aim to empower ONE MILLION young job seekers to pursue careers in Information Technology, Banking and Financial Services, and Education. We have enabled 150,000+ youth from 350+ locations across India prepare for their first job.
