iNext360° is an amalgamation of various institutions – Individuals, Institutes and corporate.
A recent NASSCOM –McKinsey report shows that The Indian industry will face its biggest challenge ever; a talent shortage of 3.1 million knowledge workers, across industry by 2010. Compounded by the fact that a mere 10% of fresh graduates seeking placement are equipped with the soft skills required for a corporate job. In these competitive times, apart from the academic qualification, it is the soft skills that would help one land their dream career. There is an obvious knowledge-skill gap between what is taught in the college and what is required in the corporate world.
"It is not unemployment that is the major problem; it is the question of un employability that is the major crisis in this competitive arena…" APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India
Also, as a fresh graduate, one does not have clarity of one’s own potential and also about the opportunities available in the market. Hence many of them tend to get into a hit and trial job hunt, which leads to early de motivation and most of the time the first job turns out to be a mere transaction rather than a relationship.
While academic skills definitely count, skills such as spoken and written English, interpersonal skills, the art of communication, situational behavior, play a pivotal role for fitting into the workplace At iNext360° we work towards bridging this gap through a series of short term courses.
We administer a psychometric test and a one to one sitting with the individual to understand their strength and weakness.
The next step is to link the individual aspirations to the job market and industry preference. This helps us to differentiate on expectations and aspirations.
Next, we map the skill sets required in the preferred industry with that of the individual, and assess the training requirements.
