PROJECT
Developing Employability Skills
In the current scenario employment is the biggest challenge especially in the developing countries. The need of the hour is to create self employment and further becoming an employer. Starting an entrepreneur is risky in terms of financial investment, it becomes more suicidal when someone invests without knowing his or her capabilities. I fought with myself for 17 long years to become an entrepreneur, worked in several companies at different levels . From my own experience I can make out that it is essential to know your potential and interest before starting new venture.
The objective for developing this course is to facilitate young minds to identify their skills and developing mastering entrepreneurial skills. The proposed outline of this course will include following modules:
1. Knowing your strengths
2. Becoming a Manager
3. Mastering Entrepreneurial Skills
