Stories of Hope A personality development workshop was organised on January 1, 2010 at the centre in which around 25 students participated and honed their knowledge on ‘soft skills and personality development’. It was an opportunity for the students to learn the modern methodologies required in the current job market from Anupam Sharma , a management student from IIM- Indore. As part of the team building exercise at the workshop, the students were divided into five groups and each group was assigned the task of making a building with a set of newspapers provided to them. The purpose was to develop understanding on the concept of stability and space.
The workshop ended with tips given to the students on ‘how to prepare a good resume’ and ‘how to face an interview confidently’. |
