“What sort of a job will I get after I complete my course?” “What is the salary I can expect?” “What sort of companies will visit the campus?”
These are some of the many questions that race through a student’s mind when one considers pursuing a B School education.
The story at SOIL however, is different. The one year program has been designed in a manner that ensures maximum interaction with industry leaders in various formats. Due to this intense involvement with the industry, SOIL students are well prepared for moving towards the right career.
One of these formats is the mentorship program where students spend 3-4 hours every month with a senior leader from the industry. This helps the students chart out their career aspirations, identify the areas that they need to focus on and develop the skills needed in the industry that they aspire for. These meetings also enable conversations about career progression and who knows, the mentor may at times find the mentee a good fit into their own organization!
Another exciting way to engage with the industry is the Company Day. This provides the students with a platform to network with senior leaders from our Consortium Companies for an entire day. Besides sharing leadership stories from their respective companies, they also discuss real life case studies with the students. The students get an opportunity to present their recommendations to the senior management of the visiting companies who in turn can provide constructive feedback to add to the students’ learning experience at SOIL.
With the students half way through the program, the efforts of the Career Forward Team come into focus. This comprises a team of students guided by the SOIL faculty and management team. While the SOIL consortium companies lead the placement process and commit their participation, the Career Forward Team also reaches out to several other companies. A unique aspect is the Student Dossier that is shared with the Companies…this highlights each students’ experience, their learning at SOIL as well as their future aspirations. This brings out much more as compared to just a resume. (http://www.soilindia.net/student-profile.html)
We believe that every student at SOIL has unique gifts and the aim of the team is to best fit the students with the right company and brightest prospects.
