ConnectBLR is a 6-month weekend internship program that provides career guidance, placements, and hands-on experience through projects. It aims to address issues students face like lack of experience, guidance, and placements. The program includes project work, tests, and mentorship from industry experts to help students learn in-demand skills and get placed. It is different from local training centers as the trainers are software professionals who can directly help with placements and guide students on latest technologies companies use.
