Many are living a myth: getting into a college is the door to a great career. They fail to seek meaningful advice from the right stakeholders and not just with peers who still believe in the myth of “engineering royalty”. Only 3.84 per cent of engineers in the country have the technical, cognitive and linguistic skills required for software-related jobs in startups. A recent study by the University of Exeter in the UK listed skills like communication, problem-solving, being self-motivated, organizational, team spirit, adaptability, negotiation as inevitable to the hiring process. Students from Tier 2 & Tier 3 fall short in these parameters in a considerable way and rarely strive to learn these. After graduating most students from Tier 2 & Tier 3 colleges wander in metro cities learning about the market realizing the massive gap in their knowledge and market demand, taking a few short-term courses (computer & communication skills), going for some walk-in interviews and finally settle for anything they can find. This period ranges approximately from 1.5 to 2 years after college.

Positive Change

We at Guruveda Foundation yearn to bring about a positive change in this situation. We partner with colleges and universities and conduct camps to interact with students. We help them in the following areas

1. Identification of strengths / hidden talents
2. Guiding and mentoring towards correct profession
3. Awareness towards various supporting schemes / other non-profits
