Model Finishing School Employability Enhancement Programme Admission Notification (July 2012)


Model Finishing School 
Science and Technology Museum Complex 
PMG Junction, Vikas Bhavan P.O 
Trivandrum - 33 



Employability Enhancement Programme 
Admission Notification (July 2012) 


Background 
An oft-voiced and addressed concern with regard to education and employment is that candidates with good academic credentials are  not able to get prestigious employment opportunities. Experts in this line of thought opine that the students, though educated are seldom employable, as they lack skills in areas which are most sought after by the industry.  
To overcome this and to ensure that the youth are able to secure employment in desired levels, the Government of Kerala has taken the first step by setting up the Model Finishing School in the capital city of Thiuvananthapuram. The Model Finishing School is a joint initiative of IT Department, Government of Kerala and Institute of Human Resources Development (IHRD),  with the support of  Infosys. IHRD is the coordinating agency and is overseeing the day-to-day functioning of the Model Finishing School. 

Training 
The training at Model Finishing School is aimed at moulding students before they step into employment. Providing such training would have twin benefits, firstly, the students are well-prepared to enter the job market, which will positively impact their productivity at the workplace and secondly, companies will be spared of the huge amounts of investments required in pre-employment training, especially in areas like soft skills. 
The 40-day training would include technical and soft skills besides English language skills. Individual attention and rigorous evaluations are the hallmarks of the course. The students are put through various activities to help them overcome inhibitions of any sort and realize their full potential. Regular home assignments are given to strengthen classroom learning. Extra support is also given to weaker students. 
Training will be held at the Finishing School premises, Science and Technology Museum Complex, PMG Junction, Trivandrum.  

Faculty 
Training will be provided by faculty members drawn from diverse fields and trained by Infosys.
