For a successful career just being knowledgeable cannot help. One needs to be adequately qualified, have refined presentation and communication skills, and also a confident personality that can impress others and also send across positive vibes about ones abilities and passion. With a high drop out rate students in Kakrala and Aagar are even unable to complete their basic schooling, let alone higher studies. Moser Baer Trust, realized this missing link, and came up with a unique project –
Career Development Centres that targets mainstreaming students for higher education and also works upon their inherent personality weaknesses, like computer familiarity, spoken English, and personal grooming so that they can have an overall development. With stress on academic achievement, CDC has provisioned tutorial classes in subjects like Maths, Science and English, where students generally falter and consequently tend to drop out from the formal education system. The idea is to facilitate completion of schooling and then push the children for higher studies at the Bachelors and Masters level. In a nutshell the overall achievement of CDC is the prevention of drop out and development of overall personality that enhances ones competitiveness and value in the market.
MBT initiated its first Career Development Centre in village Kakrala near A-164 plant of MBIL. The project has especially focused students of standard X and XII who face board examinations. The course prepares them for high scoring so that their confidence is boosted. Apart from the youth, CDC also caters to the needs to the women and elder male members of the community. There is a special package to make women computer friendly and consequently document such case stories where women have been able to utilize the skill effectively. Such case stories would be instrumental in motivating other women to come forward and utilize the skill. The CDC thus offers a complete package of services that ensures that all segments of the community become familiar to computer usage and aid in their empowerment.
