The Free Software Movement (AP) is organizing a 15-day Industry Oriented summer school, a training camp where a student can learn not just the various technologies used in the Industry but can also understand the various dynamics of the IT Industry.

Technology Sessions: The programme includes detailed sessions on variety of topics ranging from 'setting up a GNU/Linux Operating system' to 'Professional Programming' to 'Server Administration'. Apart from these, there will also be “Hands-on” sessions in laboratories for the technologies where the student can get a practical understanding of using the technology. These practical sessions will be well-facilitated.

ImpAct Sessions: The programme is designed to provide not just the technical knowledge required to develop software but also the skills required to scale up to the industry standards. The “ImpAct” Sessions are designed to not teach but make the students experience the different environments in which professional work is carried out. It includes sessions on Effective Communication, Positive Work Culture, Time Management, Internet Revolution and Working in Collaboration. These will provide the students an insight into 'things that are not taught in classrooms'.

The speakers for the sessions will be Industry experts working on these technologies.
