We have been supported by top corporates in providing placement linked skill training programmes to more than 10,000 youth across the Retail, Telecom, Tourism & Hospitality, IT/ITeS, Apparel and a host of other such sectors. The trainings provided are interactive in nature with an equal focus given to domain training as well as life skills, computer skills and English communication. On the job training, field visits, alumni interactions, PTMs, guest lectures and activity based learning are the focus areas of the programmes. Since placement is the primary focus of the programme, there is a rigorous pre placement preparation done with each trainee, which includes her going through mock interviews, group discussions and grooming sessions so as to ensure that they are fully ready to face the interviewer. Our intervention doesn’t end here as there is a six month follow up with each trainee post the placement so that she is well settled in her job and is provided with post placement counselling in the critical 6 month period.
