Vocational training schools are primarily intended for imparting certain work skills for the student, which will enable him/her to perform his job better. Since the current education system concentrates more on imparting generic theoretical knowledge, it is not enough for the young student to start his/her career and succeed in it.

According to the NSDC (National Skills Development Commission) report India will need 83 million skilled workers across different industry verticals by 2015. Unfortunately with our current training capacity India will produce only 3 million!! In this context courses that imbibe work-place skills and enhance the employability of a student is extremely important since it will not only help in youth empowerment, but contributes to national development also.

Vocational courses that offer the students not just classroom learning but also hands-on practical training in various aspects like customer relationship, people management, personality development etc. are in top demand now. Students are realizing that their regular college education does not equip them with the adequate communication and practical knowledge that are necessary to perform well in their professions. Even after a three year graduation, the youth often has to spend considerable amount of time job hunting, which becomes very frustrating. Vocational courses offer the student a fast-track education that opens up job opportunities and growth in the workplace. Thus the student gets a job faster, is able to support & provide for his family and self, becoming a responsible citizen of the society instead of an unproductive burden.

Vocational Training from IndiaSkills
IndiaSkills offers a wide range of qualifications across different industry verticals – while currently offering courses in Retail, Hospitality, Security, Hair & Beauty, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) and Spoken English, we will soon add technical trades in sectors like construction, manufacturing, refrigeration & air conditioning, auto service and follow it up with qualifications in sectors like warehousing and logistics, healthcare and media & entertainment. Apart from regular courses, IndiaSkills also works closely with the industry and government on specific skilling requirements they require like construction, refrigeration, air-conditioning etc.

Spoken English, BFSI, Retail and Hospitality are currently the most sought after courses by students. Developed with industry inputs and recognized by leading players in the industry, the qualifications are designed to provide a combination of both classroom learning and practical skills required to perform the specific job role. For the industry employers this translates into a job-ready workforce with “first day, first hour” productivity.

Benefits of IndiaSkills Training
The most important benefits of a finishing school/vocational course is the wide range of job opportunities they offer. Retail, Hospitality & BFSI are the fastest growing sectors and would need 20 million skilled candidates by 2015. Specialized sectors like Auto and Hair & Beauty are projected to need 5 million resources while the Construction sector alone will require over 15 million skilled workers.

IndiaSkills alone has a mandate of more than 15,000 job placements with different retail & hospitality companies. The huge and rising number of job opportunities for skilled candidates underlines the importance of a vocational course and the benefits they offer.

Vocational courses need to be seen as a necessary addition to the regular school or graduate education, since the college education will only provide knowledge enhancement while the vocational courses gives training to get a job and start a successful career. Vocational courses can also be incorporated in regular college environment, wherein the students will have easier access to the skills training and can complete the course easily along with his graduation.

Judging by the number of enquiries coming through for CeMAP training courses, whether for CeMAP 1 or the combined CeMAP 2 & 3 course, there are still many people interested in getting into the financial industry and particularly in becoming a mortgage advisor. In the long run, we have all seen that house prices rise and in the British way of life, we all want to own our own property.

However, thanks to the credit crunch and the recession we find ourselves in it is perfectly natural that people are questioning whether taking CeMAP training right now is a good idea or not.

House prices have fallen over the last year or two, however, people still want mortgages. The reasons why people want a mortgage have varied slightly because there are more people wanting to sell because they cannot afford their current mortgage, there are property developers trying to release equity from their homes and there are remortgages everywhere as people search to find the best deal for their circumstances.

The Government and banks are putting measures in place to help stimulate the housing market, and people feel the need to have a mortgage advisor or mortgage broker on hand to help guide them through the new maze of mortgages. Capped rate mortgages are making more of an appearance again now; these had become less popular in the last decade or so because the UK market has enjoyed stable low interest rates and competitive mortgage deals. The type of mortgage deals on offer now are changing to adapt to the new mortgage market and people need mortgage advisors to help them find their most suitable mortgage for their situation.

CeMAP training does take time too. By taking the full time, intensive CeMAP training courses back to back and then taking the exams straight away you could pass your CeMAP exam in just a few weeks, but that would be very challenging for anybody. We recommend taking one full time course over a week, either the CeMAP 1 or the CeMAP 2 & 3 combined course, and then taking the exam about ten days later. Then repeat with the remaining CeMAP 1 or CeMAP 2 & 3 course. Of course, it might take a little longer if you have to plan time off work to do the courses or if you have to do home study.

It takes around 6 months to one year to become a fully competent mortgage advisor, so according to the experts, the recession will be on its way out by then anyway. This means that by taking your CeMAP training course, you’ll be perfectly placed to become a mortgage advisor when the housing crisis is over.

One great thing about becoming a mortgage broker is that you can be either employed by another firm or work for yourself.

If you are not sure if CeMAP training is the right move for your career right now, then speak to a reputable CeMAP training company. A reputable training provider will be happy to answer any of your questions.

Teleseminars and webinars open the doors to expanding your network, providing education and training to clients and prospects, creating information products that you can distribute, meet and interact with people around the globe, and at the same time save money. This article will use Instant Teleseminar as an example of one of the systems that is available for starting your own teleseminars.

Teleseminars use the telephone and the internet. You and one or more co-hosts can present your topic using the phone and your attendees listen by phone. It is similar to a conference call but there are more facilities and control on the interaction.

A webinar has a visual component – and you may be using a powerpoint or other documents that the audience can view and you can control.

I’m not a guru. I hardly know everything about life, or, for that matter, anything BIG. Besides, my education is pretty less because I couldn’t afford to do any MBA as of now. All I know are little, little things learned from my several real life experiences and the only sense I have is commonsense.

I live simple. I think simpler. And I communicate the simplest. I can only listen to my heart and can just talk my mind. Though it doesn’t necessarily mean that whatever I communicate is always right or ultimate; err is human… and I’m no animal either.

In fact, my English is also not up to the mark. Some people always find follies in my lines (and between the lines). I can understand and appreciate their concern for my language, as I know they do care for me.

But again, as you know, the world is full of careless, casual and unconcerned people; they keep reading my stuff – grammatical errors notwithstanding – so I keep writing for them.

The entrepreneur faces a moment of truth when he and his partners have grown the company to a sufficient degree to take it to the next level. At that stage it becomes imperative to hire a professional as a functional head say a CFO. Obviously the top manager needs to fill in the skill set the founders may lack. It must also be recognized by founders that this skill set is absolutely vital to succeed.

The founding partners find it difficult (esp. when founders are friends and family ) to cede control to the CFO designate, since it also means giving up certain powers and also business secrets (which the entrepreneur is paranoid about) .

The Top Six Things to consider while setting up a top management team are outlined below

Try and first source from professionals in your network.

They might not be the best person suited for the job, but ‘trust’ is an important criteria at this stage, esp. for a CFO. In circumstances where you cannot find individuals who match at least 50% of skill set required, then use a professional head hunter and do an extensive reference check.

Customer Service Agents are the frontline staff of the company they are who customers speak with first. Essentially, they are the voice of the company.

If a Customer Service agent is professional, friendly, and can solve a customers needs, that customer will have a positive impression of the company. This pleasant experience can lead to repeat business and even referrals increasing profitability.

On the other hand, if a Customer Service Agent is unprofessional, uniformed, and unable to solve a customers needs, the customer will hang up the phone in frustration resulting in a negative impression. Consequently, the customer will indeed talk about your company, but with a very pessimistic tone which can discourage customers away from you and to your competitor decreasing productivity!

As a leader, it is your responsibility to train the staff with proper telephone skills and company and product knowledge as well as the requisite customer service skills necessary to excel customer expectations. With this education, you are arming the Customer Service Agent with the power to better assist customers and increase productivity creating many positive first impressions along the way!

As the global economy has changed over the past 12 months or so, more and more people are turning to Sales training courses to help them secure more sales.

For the past number of years companies have not had to worry about sales training as the economy was buoyant and sales people with the title of sales people did generally not need to fight for business. In fact to be honest in many industries they were order takers as opposed to salespeople. With this in mind sales training courses were not very popular as consumers with more money in their pockets were prepared to purchase anyway.

Based on personal experience I will try and explain what I mean:

If you were buying a new car in 1990 sales people would be trying every close in the book to sell the car to you. In fact they were even offering you a full weekend test drive, where you could take the car for the weekend to try and help you make the decision. In these times Sales training programmes and sales skills were badly needed as the market was tough. Formal sales training was a must for numerous companies.
