Training
Corporate-readiness training, designed after a training need analysis.
A degree alone is not enough
Recruiters visiting campuses look for candidates who are ready for industry and have the etiquette the corporate world expects. The answer is training, in the right direction and by the right process.
The training and placement department designs industrial training programmes after a proper training need analysis, to make students corporate ready.
