Infosys launched the Campus Connect (CC) program in 2004. It is a focused industry- academia program that aims to reduce the skill gap through grassroots and academic interventions. This is a holistic program that covers the entire academic ecosystem– students, faculty, and curriculum development. This was effectively implemented by Training and Placement Cell. This program works on foundation and fundamentals of computer skills.

Previously, the programme used to be called Infosys Campus Connect Foundation Programme (ICCFP) and further it is renamed as Campus Connect Programme (CCP) to ensure that the technical content and practices of industries can be further delivered to students in an effective manner. External trainers are identified for delivering the sessions and ensure aligning students with technical competency at par with industry requirements. The sessions used to be conducted for 20-30 hours which is increased to 40-60 hours. This comprises real-life case studies, insights into the application of technology, and projects to work on.
