C-DAC PACE School Training Programme
Empowering Future-Ready Students Through Industry-Aligned Digital Skills Education
Bring Government-Recognized Digital Skills Training Directly to Your School Campus
The future belongs to students who can adapt, innovate, and thrive in a technology-driven world. As Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Cyber Security, Data Analytics, and Digital Technologies reshape every industry, schools must go beyond traditional computer education and equip students with practical, future-ready skills.

This unique programme helps schools transform their students from technology users into technology creators.
