eClerx Partners with University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management for Enterprise-wide RPA Skilling Program

eClerx Services Ltd, a business process management, automation and analytics services company, has partnered with University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management to provide a certification course in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to their employees worldwide.

RPA continues to be one of the most sought-after skills in the IT and BPM space as enterprises increasingly adopt digital transformation, build intelligent operations via automation and drive process innovation.

In line with its strategic imperative to develop and invest in building niche skills, eClerx launched an enterprise-wide learning initiative titled ‘Skill of the Year’ in 2020. In November 2020, the company partnered with the University of Miami’s Institute for Data Science and Computing to certify 500+ employees with a program in ‘Data Visualization and Storytelling’, which was an overwhelming success. This year, eClerx has picked RPA as the ‘Skill of the Year’ to enable its workforce to uncover opportunities ripe for automation, and to lead the development, implementation and running of RPA projects.
