Soft Skill:
To understand soft skill first of all
let us understands “Hard Skills”. A mechanic handling machine, an electrician
handling complex electric connection, an aeronautical handling airplane, a TV
repairer handling TV, a plumber handling the pipes, a mason dong the work of
cementing are the skill directly related to the work and the expertise of these
kind are termed as hard skills.
You will also come across people who
are very cool in the pressure; there are people who will present their ideas in
a very convincing way. There are people who are extra polite and grow up
steadily in life. There are people who have tremendous command on language
especially English. There are people who are very comfortable in discussion or
in interview whereas there are some who can get the new job easily. These all
are “Soft Skills” very rarely taught however the same can be developed if
methodically and consciously groomed after understanding the importance of the
same.
These days to progress in life we
require not only:

Let us highlight some of these

Why this is required?
Due to fierce competition, there are many factors working in getting a
job, maintaining a job and growing in a job. Whereas hard skill gives you a
job, soft skill help you maintain, survive and grow in the job.
Why Gujarat?
It has been observed and surveyed that a resident or a student of Gujarat
is very good in hard skill but when it comes to presentation or any other
aspects of soft skills they are little minus than students of other state. It
was okay when whole generation was into a business, but these days with a
professionalization across the world, kids want to enjoy corporate life. Here
an average Gujarati fails. There is a void of institution which can groom
students on these aspects, hence this project.
Gujarat is already having ‘SCOPE’, an organization for empowering
Gujarati youth for speaking English which is very necessary component of soft
skill.
When India is the only country having population of 35% in youth, Why
Gujarat should not empower Gujarati youth to an international skills.
What is the Modus operandi? ( Small Scale)
This is a 30/50/70 hour modules which covers all major soft skill parameters
making students more employable with a frequency of Crash/Staggered period. The training can be imparted at the college
premises or at the designated centers of the organization.
Who are the trainers?
The trainers are the blend of industry and academic orientation. They
have themselves been the employee and later an employer to understand both the
aspects of industry as well as the student.
