upGrad, Asia’s higher Edtech leader, announced the opening of four new offline experience centres in Ahmedabad, Indore, Hyderabad, and Nagpur today, in response to the growing demand for online learning in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
upgrad is expanding its experience centres across India in order to provide easy offline touchpoints, build trust, and improve the overall learning ecosystem for learners.
Jeetender Singh, Business Head – upGrad said, “Today, online learning is crucial in assisting people in remaining relevant in the job market and improving social skills, both of which lead to enhanced employability. A team of qualified professionals is available at each center to provide both potential and existing learners with extensive career counselling and guidance to help them make informed choices based on their professional aspirations and skillsets/subject interests.”
In a vast country like India, online learning allows you to upskill without leaving your job and become future-ready. It also provides learners across non-metros with access to the best educational content with top university accreditations, fostering the next generation of learners.
According to research reports, the market for online learning will grow even more with the additional push following Covid, as economic uncertainty reinforces the need for continuous learning.
“Such offline experience centers are designed to offer an easy offline touchpoint to anybody and everybody who seeks concrete career development,” added Jeetender.
Currently, the higher-education major has over 17 Experience Centers spread across the country, including key cities such as Noida, Pune, Vijayawada, Lucknow, and Vadodara, to name a few.
