QualiZeal, one of the fastest-growing digital quality engi- neering and software testing services organisations, announces the launch of its Grace Hopper Centre of Excellence (GHCoE) program to develop on-campus talent pools who work in the digital quality engineering space. Grace Hopper Centres of Excellence (GHCoE) will be established in Hyderabad campuses of KL University, VISHNU Educational Society, Vasavi College of Engi- neering, VR Siddhartha Engineering College, and Malla Reddy Engineering College for Women (MRECW) . Every year, QualiZeal aims to train 200 women engineers. Participants will receive full scholarships, stipends, and mentorship. Successful graduates will be given exciting opportunities in the Digital Quality Engineering space at QualiZeal.

According to Madhu Murty Ronanki, Advisor and lead – India Operations, QualiZeal said, “We are excited to launch GHCoE on our partner campuses and we are confident that this will help us create women tech professionals in quality engineering while they are on campus. We appreciate the progressive leaders of our partner institutions.”

QualiZeal will enrol interested and talented women engineering students from partner insti- tutions and invest in the development of industry-ready women quality engineers. QualiZeal will provide all participants with knowledge of modern digital quality engineering processes, tools, and techniques, as well as full scholarships and stipends. Starting in the third year of engineering, the GHCoE program spans around 12-15 months and includes an internship with QualiZeal, leading to full-time employment upon graduation.
