The two greatest concerns of employers today are finding good workers and training them. The difference between the skills needed on the job and those possessed by applicants, sometimes called the skills-gap, is of real concern to human resource managers & business owners looking to hire competent employees. While employers prefer to hire people who are trained & ready to go to work, they are usually not willing to provide the specialized, job-specific training necessary for those fresh employees lacking such skills due to time and cost factor and high attrition.

We believe that the main task of a professional educational institution is to lay firm foundations for successful careers. However it is also an established fact that “Pure academic or technical skills, alone, are not enough to get students good jobs”.

Employers are looking for people with employability or job readiness skills. Employers need reliable, responsible workers who can solve problems and who have the social skills and attitudes to work together with other workers. Creativity is now prized among employers who are trying to create the empowered, high performance workforce needed for competitiveness in today’s marketplace.

Students faced difficulties in tackling problems like:
• Aptitude- mental ability to perform well.
• Spoken English.
• Expressing views confidently.
• Problem solving & Decision Making
• Group discussion.
• Stage fright
• Time Management.
• Personal Interviews.

Failure to equip young students with the job readiness skills that are critical to job success is equivalent to placing employability barriers in their career path. Allowing students to graduate with these deficiencies has far reaching implications. There are ways; however, these deficiencies may be corrected.

A supplementary program is needed that can help shape the student’s overall personality development and equip them to be successful in all spheres (areas) of their life.

Career Enhancement Skills (CES) are those core skills necessary for getting, keeping, and doing well on a job. These are the skills, attitudes and actions that enable workers to get along with their fellow workers and supervisors and to make sound & critical decisions.

CES skills are generic in nature rather than job specific and cut across all industry types, business sizes, and job levels from the entry-level worker to the senior-most position.
Fresher with CES skills are in demand and are considered valuable human capital assets that give students a distinct competitive edge in the area of recruitments & placements.

Future Mynds own research and vast experience has guided us to design the program to equip the fresh employees to play different roles expected in a dynamic organization. The organizations face four core challenges to survive in the competitive market.
