Bengaluru-based embedded systems training institute Emertxe has launched a free online embedded internship programme for engineering graduates and students to help them tide over the pandemic-induced financial crisis.

The programme will cover 1,000 engineering graduates and students from across the country, especially in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, Maaz Jukaku, Managing Director, Emertxe, said in a news release. “The internship programme aims at supporting engineers and students who have been left vulnerable with little or no financial support and opportunities for further education or skills training due to the Covid pandemic,” Jukaku said. Besides Indians, Emertxe said its internship programme had benefited engineering students and graduates from France, Egypt, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Germany.
