Bringing industry-focused technology learning closer to students
The collaboration establishes an Industry-Academia Technical Skill Development Programme. It complements students’ academic education with practical technology learning and exposure to current professional practices.
Participating students will apply technical concepts beyond the classroom. They will learn through live instruction, guided assignments, practical projects, defined milestones, and professional workflows.
The initiative follows a three-year, semester-aligned learning roadmap. Each academic year will be offered as a separate course, allowing the curriculum to progress alongside the students’ BCA education.
Year 1: Full Stack Web Development Using AI
The first-year programme will focus on Full Stack Web Development Using AI.
It will include 40 hours of live instruction across two semesters, with 20 hours planned for each semester. The programme will begin with an in-person learning component at the college. It will continue through live online sessions delivered by ForthFocus professionals and mentors.
Eligible students who satisfactorily complete the annual course will receive a co-branded certificate from ForthFocus and Shree Guru Sudhindra College.
Connecting academic learning with professional application
Technology and professional expectations continue to evolve rapidly. At the same time, academic education provides an essential foundation. However, industry exposure can further help students understand how their knowledge connects with practical applications, collaborative workflows, and real-world problem-solving.
Through the ForthFocus Learning Initiative, our objective is to support this connection responsibly and meaningfully.
The programme will introduce students to relevant technologies, project practices, professional expectations, and effective methods of working. It will also encourage curiosity, consistency, communication, accountability, and independent problem-solving.
Speaking about the collaboration, V Gautham Navada, Founder and Director of ForthFocus, said:
“Education becomes even more meaningful when students can connect what they learn in the classroom with how that knowledge is applied in professional environments. Through the ForthFocus Learning Initiative, our objective is to provide students with structured, practical, and responsible industry exposure. We are grateful to Shree Guru Sudhindra College for sharing this vision and placing its trust in ForthFocus.”
Mr. Srinath Pai, Principal of Shree Guru Sudhindra College, Bhatkal, said:
“Our collaboration with ForthFocus is an important step towards providing students with additional opportunities to develop practical technical skills and gain exposure to current industry practices. We look forward to implementing this programme in a structured manner and creating a valuable learning experience for our students.”
An important milestone for the ForthFocus Learning Initiative
The signing of this MoU represents an important milestone for the ForthFocus Learning Initiative and our commitment to meaningful industry-academia engagement.
For ForthFocus, the initiative is not simply about conducting technical sessions. Instead, it focuses on sharing relevant professional knowledge through a focused learning experience. In addition, it helps students develop a practical understanding of the opportunities and expectations they may encounter during their careers.
We sincerely thank the leadership of Shree Guru Sudhindra College for their confidence in this initiative and their commitment to creating additional learning opportunities for students.
We look forward to working closely with the college and delivering an engaging and practically relevant learning experience.
