This project draws from the Redington Foundation’s Mission- “Imparting Skills to the least-skilled to bring the best for the society”. It is unique as it seeks to deliver a course in Business Communication-which is neither a part of any college curriculum nor is accessible to rural students outside the college set up. This programme includes Soft Skills, Information Technology, General English, General Awareness, Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Aptitude that are both theoretical and practical in nature. After the completion of the syllabus, mid & final assessments were conducted that was shared with the monitoring team & the management. The overall goal is to increase the number of students taking up placement interviews and job offers. Through this project, 1000 final year students were reached from 10 colleges located in 9 towns in Tamil Nadu for implementation of the Business Communication training. Out of these, seven colleges are women’s colleges with almost 75% of the students trained being women. The project has been driven with the help of Kalvi Education Group as implementation partners, along with the respective college administrations.
