Scaling Skills for Industry
The program integrates QNX’s foundational software and tools into engineering curricula at select institutions, giving students hands-on experience in embedded systems development. These skills prepare graduates to tackle real-world challenges in industries such as automotive, robotics, medical devices, rail, and industrial automation.
The impact so far has been significant:
- 88 institutions engaged across India
- Nearly 4,000 students are participating in QNX-based training
- Faculty development programs ensuring sustainability over multiple years
Pi Square has been instrumental in training faculty members, enabling them to deliver QNX-focused courses and labs that align with global industry standards. Pi Square posts more program details and up-to-date results of the initiative on its website.
Driving Student Readiness
For employers, this initiative creates a pipeline of QNX-knowledgeable engineers who are job-ready from day one. By using QNX technology in academic programs, students graduate with practical expertise that prepares them for industry positions and accelerates innovation in safety-critical and high-assurance systems.
A Long-Term Commitment to Education
This progress reflects QNX’s broader mission to nurture a worldwide developer community and strengthen the embedded software ecosystem. With India as a recognized centre for engineering talent, the QNX Everywhere initiative is helping shape the future workforce, one classroom at a time.
