Chennai –Zoho, a leading global technology company headquartered in Chennai, today announced that it has strengthened its upskilling initiative, Young Creators Program (YCP), with a new ‘Train the Trainer’ module and a revamped course curriculum. Through this module, YCP aims to train educators and trainers on building powerful applications leveraging low-code. The program has also upgraded its curriculum to include AI capabilities in low-code application building, ensuring students are taught modern, tangible skills. As YCP continues to grow, it has expanded to six more states in India this year, partnering with 22 colleges and reaching tier 2/3 cities like Nagpur and Ghaziabad.
YCP was launched in 2022 by Zoho Creator, the company’s low-code application development platform, as a two-day learning program to empower future business professionals—with minimal to no coding experience—to build comprehensive solutions. Since its launch, 45 YCP sessions have been conducted in India, benefitting more than 5,400 students across educational institutions. The program’s growing popularity continues to attract students from non-tech backgrounds who appreciate bringing ideas to life without the need for deep technical knowledge. With YCP, students learn end-to-end application development with low-code leveraging Zoho Creator, in addition to mobile app deployment and Zoho’s proprietary programming language Deluge.
“At Zoho, we believe that technology should be accessible to everyone. With YCP, our aim is to democratise technology education, enabling students to gain hands-on experience in building applications and solving real-world challenges without being limited by technical expertise,” said Bharath Kumar B, Head of Marketing and Customer Success at Zoho Creator. “With the introduction of the Train the Trainer module, educators can now be equipped with the tools and knowledge to upskill an even larger pool of students. Our aim is to empower the next generation to not only consume technology but also create it.“
This new Train the Trainer module offers educators a comprehensive 20+ hour intensive workshop, featuring advanced sessions and equipping them with the essential tools and resources to master low-code. It helps the trainers develop their expertise to teach and mentor others, creating a multiplier effect in knowledge-sharing and professional development for students.
According to Nasscom, among global tech leaders. However, given the increase in demand for digital talent, this gap is estimated to widen by 2028. To address this, businesses and academia have to join hands and build industry-centric and skill-focused courses to nurture students with future-ready skillsets. This is why the revised YCP curriculum features interactive workbooks that arm students with solution-building capabilities that will enable them to tackle real-world scenarios.
Given the increase in demand for AI, the course also includes skilling students with AI models that can identify patterns from historical data and make predictions, decisions, or interpretations, enhancing their data-driven decision-making skillset. With these additions, students will get the hands-on experience needed to develop the next generation of enterprise-grade applications. Additionally, to support self-paced learning, the program will now offer on-demand training materials, allowing students to upskill on their own, outside of a traditional classroom setting. Upon completion of the training, students will also get free access to Zoho Creator’s enterprise edition for three months.
