FINISHING SCHOOL

 
 
BizMentors Corporate Academy
 
     
  I) Background -  
     
 

Entering into, and Excelling at, Corporate jobs require -

  • Interview performance – to be able to present oneself correctly and with the best results for both the interviewer and interviewee.
  • Communication that is tuned to Business needs.
  • Professional Skills that include Grooming and various Business Etiquettes, apart from technical skills that are fine-tuned for practical application in Business, which are usually not included in course curricula.
  • Interpersonal skills to be able to survive in Work-Place Politics and thrive in teams.
  • Emotional Intelligence – for consistently appropriate behavior under stressful circumstances day-after-day.

 
The challenge of the current skill gap –

  • Recruits into companies rely on “learning on the job” which results in investments of significant time and energy of company managers in shaping their trainee execs to be able to carry out their functions effectively.
  • The costs of such efforts remain largely un-documented.
  • The rapid growth of scale and competition in Business has brought this problem to the surface, as manpower requirements are met with inadequate supply, while the conventional approach of training on the job is found to be too slow.
  • Companies have tried to address this situation thru internal  training, which in some cases have even been set up as captive  institutes, but with limited results.
   

The solution : Finishing Schools – 

Has to necessarily be different from both Academic Institutions as well as Companies,  because –

  • The main function of companies is to focus on the business activities.
  • The best talent available would therefore necessarily be deployed in core business functions, leaving only the next levels of talent for the in-house teaching function.
  • Adults learn best thru experience, and the teachers have to be necessarily very experienced and successful managers – a cadre that would rarely be available for deployment as in-house trainers.
  • Academic Institutions cannot provide the required syllabi and faculty.
  • Thus a finishing school would have to be an entity with highly experienced and successful managers from the industry, operating as trainers, using unconventional teaching methods, with an emphasis on experiential learning.



BizMentors Corporate Academy is a finishing school. It is a preparatory training school for fresh entrants into the corporate world – providing the skills for quick adaption to the corporate environment and rapid ramp-up of fresh recruits’ productivity and effectiveness in organizational roles.
II) The training is imparted in 5 stages in our academy ...

Introductory Session
  • Understanding this course and its benefits. This is conducted by very senior trainers, with a deep insight of the problems facing fresh pass-outs when they enter the industry. This session is designed as a series of experiences that the fresh graduates would be subjected to, that bring about the realization about the nature of skill gaps that they have and the effect that these gaps could have on their career. These experiences will also assist the students to decide upon.
  • The introductory session, that would last for 2 hours, is ABSOLUTELY FREE, and open to all who are INTERESTED OR EVEN CURIOUS.
  • This session would provide a holistic understanding of the contents, approach and the ultimate benefits of this program.
  • This will enable students to make clear and confident choices about the nature of assistance they should seek from BizMentors and about enrolling for this program
Career Counseling
 
  • Self-analysis, clear understanding of one’s aptitudes, strengths and weaknesses and choosing career paths that offer the maximum chances of success and fulfillment.
 
Success In Interviews
 
  • Helping students to understand and prepare for the dynamics of a job interview.
  • Good performance in an interview is all about being able to present one-self honestly and in the right light, so as to facilitate right fit between the employer’s requirements and one’s strengths.
  • It also mandates a certain type of communication skill that can be developed only through precise training or through the trials and failures of appearing for interviews. The better choice is obvious.
 
Ensuring Job Effectiveness
 
  • Training students to acquire crucial soft skills, professional skills and a clear understanding of the corporate work and business processes. This would make them confident and capable of contributing effectively in their corporate roles from day one.
  • Learning these skills before taking on a corporate role saves one the trouble of learning them “on the job”, through ones own mistakes and painful corrections by superiors, which in any case may not be complete or rigorous.
 
Placement Assistance
 
  • Helping students trained, tested, ranked and certified by us to find suitable careers in the corporate world.
  • This is a natural progression of our on-going business relationships with corporate clients in the fields of Training, Consulting, Recruitment and Mentoring.
