These programs will be offered as modular specialization programs in the MillenniumIT campus.

This collaboration between MillenniumIT and Sun Microsystems is expected to cultivate the necessary IT skills to compete in today's fast growing global IT industry. "In an industry of emerging technologies, we want to empower people to be in the forefront of technology advances" said Ranjaka Adikaram, Technical Head of Data Center Services at MillenniumIT.
