Even as companies face cost pressures during the current COVID pandemic, the importance of being able to obtain an affordable education through loans cannot be overstated. It applies both to employees who wish to retain their jobs while upgrading themselves and also to those who have lost their jobs, and who are in need of upgrading themselves in the meantime while seeking re-entry into the workforce.

At the same time, more employees have realized the value of an Online Education. Coupled with the flexibility of not having to take a break from their career while pursuing their education, the rise of the Online Education option has gained popularity both from an individual learner’s perspective, as well as from an organization’s training and development perspective given the rise in quality of delivery, reduction in cost of acquiring credentials, and the ability to benefit from renowned institutions across the globe.

Upgrad’s partnership with TCC will allow learners to benefit from tuition loans, so that financial roadblocks to upgrading and re-skilling oneself can be alleviated, and continual education can be undertaken by all irrespective of social economic backgrounds.

“upGrad has been on a mission to make Online Education available and affordable to the masses, and having this tie up with TCC results in anyone being able to sign up for an upGrad program without having to worry about financial outlays during the course of their education” – Mr Zubin Gandevia (CEO upGrad, APAC).

To provide the best university quality education, upGrad brings together the world’s leading universities which include the recent launch of the Data Analytics Certificate program with Caltech, Design Thinking with Duke Corporate Education, MBA(Global) with Deakin Business School and DBA with Swiss School of Business Management to name a few. upGrad’s alumni base is employed by blue chip organizations such as Gojek, Gartner, Flipkart (Walmart-acquired), Accenture, and E&Y.
