Graduate to Professional



Time to focus on sharpening our graduates coming out of colleges. It's easy to engage them in college (final year) than after graduation. Most of them need guidance & enablement in personality development, how to prepare profile, what to prepare for Interview & process to apply etc., 

Strongly suggest Industry members to engage with few colleges in your accessibility & engage with Graduate students (as part of social responsibility. Enable Graduates to India's success.

We thought of creating a standard template of agenda to cover in 2 hours, half day, 1 day and 5 days for universities or engineering colleges. Once Agenda is finalized, we can work on content (PPT & other material) readiness.
Now 
Professional Development for University students:

  1. Fast track will be done in 50% of time i.e. 2.5 days or spread across 5 days ( 3 –4 hours / day)
  2. One day program covers all topics but excluding points #7 & 8

  3. Prof. Siva Reddy: It is a good idea; but requires hard work,availability of time and reciprocality of selected colleges. The colleges want data of recruitment but not worthiness of their students.Most of the teachers are also not interested in improving their standards or the standards of their students. So it takes time to convey good things.
