Aptech’s Proffit to help first-time job seekers

NEW DELHI: Aptech Computer Education has launched Proffit, a mass market

job-oriented course, which prepares students on the technical and the

organizational front.

A key element of the course is the focus on work culture and practices

employed within organizations. Practice sessions including case studies for the

course have been developed jointly by Microsoft consultants and Aptech Centre of

Excellence design members.

"Proffit is a focussed attempt, to help young students get over the

pressures of performing at their first jobs. It provides the users both

technical and behavioral skill sets to excel in any organization," said

Kishan Sinh Gohil, head & Sr. vice president, Aptech Computer Education. He

added that besides the regular technical courseware, it also imparts training on

various facets of an office environment, which includes business correspondence,

stress management and time management.

More than 51.4 lakh students graduate each year from the three basic streams

of Arts, Science and Commerce. Proffit plans to cater to the requirements of

prospective employers from this talented workforce. With basic skills, intrinsic

to each stream being imparted on a single platform, Proffit helps a student

absorb optimum knowledge about each of the three streams. Also included in the

course are business correspondence and management skills derived from the Arts

stream, accounting and budgeting skills from the Commerce stream as also

programming concepts and system administration skills from the Science stream.

Proffit course can be completed in less than six months. Targeting close to

28 per cent of India's urban population, it plans to encompass the age group of

15-24 years.
