Telangana’s WE Hub launches ‘campus-to-career’ programme to bridge education and employability gap

Center for Women Entrepreneurs in Hyderabad or WE Hub, the State-led nodal agency for women entrepreneurs, has signed MoUs with over 20 academic institutions in Telangana to roll out the ‘campus to career’ initiative to bridge the gap between education and employability.

Its CEO, Sita Pallacholla, said this flagship student-focused intervention aimed at developing the youth workforce will be implemented to strengthen the industry readiness, employability and career paths of female students in the state.

According to the CEO, the campus-to-career initiative aligns with the government’s budget emphasis on strengthening higher education outcomes, skilling young people for the industries of the future, and building a resilient, future-ready workforce.

Through structured academic partnerships, WE Hub will enable universities to integrate industry exposure, mentorship and skills-based learning directly into their campus ecosystems, ensuring students graduate not only with degrees but also with direction.

“The last Union Budget underlines a strong commitment to youth empowerment, education and workforce readiness. WE Enable sits right at this intersection, where policy intent meets impact on the ground. Through campus-to-career transition, we ensure that young women are not only educated but also equipped with the skills, visibility and confidence to lead Telangana’s future workforce,” he said.

MoUs were signed with the following colleges: Methodist College of Engineering and Technology; RBVRR Women’s College of Pharmacy; Veeranari Chakali Illamma Women’s University; Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology; Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology; St. Joseph Degree and PG College for Women, Toli Chowki; Koneru Lakshmaiah Education Foundation; RBVRR Women’s College; St. Francis College for Women; St. Francis Institute of Management Studies; Malla Reddy College of Engineering; Sultan ul Uloom College of Pharmacy; Stanley College of Engineering and Technology for Women; Sultan ul Uloom Law School; University of Woxsen – School of Art and Design; Ghulam Ahmed College of Education; G. Narayanamma Institute of Technology and Science; Amjad Ali Khan College of Business Administration; Government Degree College for Women, Begumpet; Sreenidhi University; and St. Joseph Degree and PG College, King Koti.

The collaboration is also important as WE Hub expands its urban student vertical, bringing together universities, engineering colleges, professional institutions and women’s colleges in Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts.
