The course therefore is designed to impart not only technical skills but also
soft skills (i.e. interpersonal/communication skills; personal grooming of the
trainees etc.
Main Expectations:
This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the traditional training
practices in vogue and underscores an expectation that a market-centric
approach will be adopted as the main driving force while delivering it. The
instructors should therefore be experienced enough to be able to identify the
training needs for the possible market roles available out there. Moreover, they
should also know the strengths and weaknesses of each trainee to prepare
them for such market roles during/after the training.
Language Proficiency:
Develop and enhance participants' proficiency in English, focusing on
grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and overall language skills.
Improve the ability to express ideas clearly and coherently in both
written and spoken English.
Exam Preparation (IELTS):
Equip students with the necessary skills to excel in each section of the
exams, including listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
Provide targeted instruction and practice specifically tailored to the
International English Language Testing System (IELTS) to ensure
participants are well-prepared for the exam.
Communication Skills:
Foster effective communication skills, both written and verbal, in various
contexts to improve participants' ability to express ideas clearly and
coherently.
Enhance cultural awareness and sensitivity to enable participants to
communicate effectively in diverse English-speaking environments.
Foster an understanding of cultural nuances in English communication
to facilitate effective interaction in diverse professional settings.

global workplace environments.

willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for a longer time without
boredom and loss of interest because they can see in their mind's eye where
their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3 -10 years) and
long term (more than 10 years).
As this tool is expected that the training providers would make arrangements
for regular well planned motivational lectures as part of a coordinated strategy
interspersed throughout the training period as suggested in the weekly lesson
plans in this document.
Course-related motivational lectures online link is available in Annexure-II.
(ii) Success Stories
Another effective way of motivating the trainees is using Success Stories. Its
inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at regular intervals has been recommended
till the end of the training.
A success story may be disseminated orally, through a presentation, or using
a video/documentary of someone that has risen to fortune, acclaim, or brilliant
achievement. A success story shows how a person achieved his goal through
hard work, dedication, and devotion. An inspiring success story contains
compelling and significant facts articulated clearly and easily comprehendible
words. Moreover, it is helpful if it is assumed that the reader/listener knows
nothing of what is being revealed. The optimum impact is created when the
story is revealed in the form of:-
Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by the training
institute)
Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high-quality videos must
be arranged by the training institute)
It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant high-quality
success stories for inclusion in the training as suggested in the weekly lesson
plan given in this document.
The suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story and its
various shapes can be seen in Annexure III.
