In today’s competitive job market, companies look for specific qualities, capabilities, and skills when selecting top candidates to join their organizations. It is crucial that education aligns with the demands of the industry. SKIPS University recognizes that even with a comprehensive curriculum, academic and industry certifications, and numerous training programs, transitioning into a corporate environment can be intimidating for students. As a result, SKIPS has developed its signature employability enhancement program for PGDM students to address these concerns and instil corporate-ready abilities. This program equips students to carry out their responsibilities in a company without confusion or fear. EEP is the product of extensive research conducted by SKIPS faculty in collaboration with the placement team and industry leaders.

Why Employment Enhancement Programs are required for Students?
In today’s world, top-tier employment prospects, well-compensated positions, and rapid growth opportunities are exclusively available to highly skilled professionals. Simply having a certain level of education is no longer adequate for securing prominent roles in the corporate sector. Presently, businesses expect more from their B-school graduates, including cognitive abilities, innovation, socio-economic competencies, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence. The required skill set for prestigious job positions has significantly evolved in recent times. While there is an abundance of job openings, there is a scarcity of qualified candidates to bridge the skills gap.
Amidst these challenges, an employability enhancement program presents a practical solution.
To ensure student success in the modern job market, educational institutions must recognize and harness the potential of customized initiatives like EEP.
Below is the list of activities covered in our Employability Enhancement Program
PSYCHOMETRIC TESTS
These tests provide insights into students’ inherent traits, motivations, and mental abilities. The measured characteristics are valuable assessment metrics used by HRs during the recruitment process.
SWOT ANALYSIS
With SWOT, students know their strengths and weaknesses, and their interpretation is helpful in minimizing roadblocks to their careers and finding relevant opportunities for them by eliminating any threats/negatives.
GOAL SETTING & ACTION PLANNING
We help students in creating a clear blueprint of their goals and objectives (both short-term and long-term goals) and then guide them to strategize an action plan to achieve them in a realistic way.
