The scholars across various organizations & universities have stressed the concept of Finishing School Program as a requirement of pre-employment training program for graduating students from various affiliated colleges to cater to the needs of different industries.
The finishing schools should be established for increasing the employability of the students, because the students lack the real-world training, limiting their knowledge to the theoretical stuff.

Current issues in University Curriculum in India
1. The Syllabus doesn't match with what the IT industry is looking for
2. Students are not Market Ready when they complete their academic courses
3. Corporate organizations do not find any Value addition and they have to spend Time and money in retraining them for their project needs.
4. Predominantly curriculum is PC based coding/Programming Exercise and Students are not exposed to high-end Enterprise Server Computing.
The SA-institutional model provides some of the following benefits: -
Reasonable pricing
Institutional pricing low for the students compared to market rates.
Certified Trainer
The learning process is handled by in-house SA-certified trainers.
Corporate Activities
With the huge alumni & associate network of SA in corporate, SA would conduct regular corporate workshops / seminars / related activities for increased exposure of the students.
Assessment Process
Regular workbook sessions, written & programming tests followed by mock interviews & presentations would help to keep a track of the students learning in the SA-program.
In-House Development
SA would also assist to prepare the college internal training workforce to handle SA programs or any other related modules by conducting “Train-the-trainer” program for college faculties after screening round on SA-competency levels.
Thus the SA-Institutional model prepares the student industry ready and makes them much prepared for the campus interviews as well as provides a cutting edge in the market by projecting them as “Trained Fresher”. |
