Maaz Jukaku The Reason Why Emertxe Is the Best Choice for Career Advancement:
eLearning and Online training programs are the way forward in the COVID-19 disrupted world. Riding along the digital revolution will ensure engineers are future-ready with skills to not only secure but retain employment. Emertxe is the pioneering force in the Embedded Systems and IoT industry by offering courses in the most relevant and highly demanded technologies leading to the high placement rates and success of its students. Having said that we are coming across questions like:
- How is Emertxe’s placement-oriented online training program different from others?
- How come freshers are able to get jobs by learning online?
- What makes companies like Qualcomm, Honeywell, and NXP hire your students?
Well, the answer is not straightforward. It’s a combination of multiple things. Let us deep-dive into it in this article.
The Core Issue of Existing Online Learning Platforms!
The EdTech revolution has changed the landscape of eLearning around the globe. Governments and institutions joined the global race to prove themselves in this domain. The Government of India actioned the Skill India initiative, offering its vocational courses for improving employability.
The Government of India also tightened regulations for educational institutions offering courses. Several platforms like edX, Swayam and Coursera offer free courses. Certificates can also be obtained at affordable prices on platforms like FutureLearn and Udemy.
The user experience is seamless on these portals. Information is in small digestible chunks. Lessons are engaging because they use a mixture of reading, listening, and writing. In addition, quizzes and networking through social media make learning on such portals effortless and enjoyable.
Although the enrollment rate is high, the rate at which learners complete the course is very low. Only highly-driven and self-motivated independent learners end up completing them which make up to hardly 10% of those enrolled. The remaining 90% are aspirational learners.
Aspirational learners have a vision that propels them to climb their career ladders. But often lose steam in the face of the uphill learning curve and there is nobody to hand-hold them in these platforms.
How to Address 90% of Learners?
Aspirational learners, 90%, find it difficult to consume content from learning portals. This limits how much a learner is able to understand and process. Learners often use their friend’s networks and social media platforms for doubt clearance. However, this may not always yield the correct results.
Professional mentoring and guidance is of prime importance. The lack of mentoring and support is the main cause of drop-off rates on the majority of the online learning programs as mentioned above. The learning experience then loses its charm and becomes more difficult. Hence, learners are not up skilled and therefore, not able to implement knowledge.
How Did Emertxe Solve the Online Learning Issue for Aspirational Learners?
Emertxe’s online courses are launched with the vision to address this challenge and make 90% of the learners produce output and achieve results in terms of placements. For example by giving learners access to forums, WhatsApp with mentors for 12 hours each working day, a good number of learning hurdles are overcome and results are produced through instant communication. Assessments and projects further reinforce the knowledge gained.
Emertxe follows a hybrid model of online training programs with excellent intervention. Hence, balancing the larger reach with technology and personalized attention required by learners. Besides mentor ship, Emertxe’s learners will get unlimited placement opportunities within the embedded and IoT industries up to one year after course completion. Emertxe is unique in this aspect, no other online portal offers placement opportunities.
Emertxe’s Online Training Program Approach
Emertxe’s training ethos consists of a consistent, well-rounded training approach. The format allows students to query when confused, unlearn when mistaken, and relearn through implementation in real-time projects and assessments.
Hard and soft skills are taught so that learners can secure employment and succeed in life. Our DISHA workshops offer skill-building, from communication to leadership. Training and placement opportunities encourage our learners to prove themselves.
Our mentors provide guidance to help learners reach over and above their aspirations. The hand-holding approach and customization of courses develop and refines the taste of our learners. Upskilling professionals, in particular, realize their ambitions and demand tailored courses. The results-oriented, outcome-based learning approach is hence the most beneficial and rewarding

Emertxe advanced embedded systems course is an intense hands-on practical driven immersive learning course. It primary focus on making entry level engineers employable by making them land fresher placements in Embedded Systems. Having said, some of our students take-up this course as a bridge-course before they start their Masters Degree, especially with foreign universities. Such students are identified separately and both our mentors and placement cell work with them in the following areas:
- Ex-student connect who are already studying in foreign universities for admission related help
- Customising course module duration to meet the timeline of University admission window (Fall / Spring in USA)
- Providing with Letter-Of-Recommendation(LOR) and reviewing Statement-Of-Purpose (SOP)
- Providing internships for a specified duration of time by exposing them with real time projects
All the required recommendation letters and internship letters are provided as per the international university standards so that our students maximize the chance of admission and TA / RA. With this approach, good number of our students get admissions into top notch universities based out of USA / Europe / Singapore.
By the end of the advanced embedded systems course, our placement team will get in touch with all the students and inform them about the certification exam, along with preparation details. Students need to appear for an assessment with NSDC / ESSCI assessment officials. Assessment will be based on ECEP course curriculum which students studied for the period of 6 months. Upon successfully clearing the assessment certificate will be provided from NSDC / ESSCI with institute name mentioned as Emertxe.
