Importance of Employablity Training 

Reports suggest that candidates may have the qualifications and ‘hard skills’ needed to be able to manage the job role but, without a well-honed set of ‘soft skills’, employers are less inclined to hire.

According to NASSCOM, each year over 3 million graduates and post-graduates are added to the Indian workforce.

However, of these only 25 percent of technical graduates and 10-15 percent of other hashtag graduates are considered employable by the rapidly growing IT and ITES segments.

Reports suggest that candidates may have the qualifications and ‘hard skills’ needed to be able to manage the job role but, without a well-honed set of ‘soft skills’, employers are less inclined to hire.

The good news is that, while many soft skills are inherent, others can be learned. One can train oneself just as one can in hard skills.

3 years ago, Surbhi Bhutani (whom I trained on Employability and Career Skills) got offer letters from 4 leading MNCs.

Today Surbhi is a proud member of Infosys family, and adding value to the organization with her same zeal and zest.

Full marks to her for her hard work and dedication that she never missed any T&D session and actively participated in all T & D related activities, and improved her performance drastically.

Needless to mention, Training does play an important role to enable students become job ready and culture fit with the right set of soft skills.
