With its vision to help make India a global hub of high-quality mobile developers, Google is working on an Android Skilling program in India that aims to train two million mobile developers. The Washington Post reports that the course curriculum will be available free across hundreds of public and private universities and training partners through a specially designed, in-person program this year; it will also be available through the government’s National Skills Development Corporation, the company said in a statement.
India is expected to have the largest developer population with 4 million people by 2018, overtaking the United States, but only a quarter are building for mobile, said Caesar Sengupta, vice president of product management at Google.
