Several large corporations have institutionalized e-learning as part of their human resource development strategy to reduce onboarding time, improve performance, and promote career advancement. Online platforms are responding to this demand by curating specialized certification programs in collaboration with global universities and industry experts. These courses often include real-time project experience, peer interaction, and mentorship, further enhancing their appeal.
