The two firms will jointly develop training programmes, which will be based on Intel Software College and the offerings would be scaled out through the NIIT network.
In the first year, the programmes will train 6,000 to 8,000 people ranging from top decision-makers to working professionals. "It will be scaled up to 50,000 over three years," NIIT Ltd Chairman, Mr Rajendra Pawar said here.
"Based on our early experience in India, we will remodel and roll out the programme in other parts of Asia Pacific, where China is an important market for us," he added.
The programme for China will be finalised in a few months, Mr Pawar said.
In India, the programme will initially focus on multi-core processing with labs across 10 NIIT centres in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune.
Intel India President Mr Ketan Sampat said, "Our collaboration with NIIT on this initiative will help Indian software developers and architects capitalise on today's technology trends and deliver new products to their customers."
