Position: Summer Trainee
Reporting to: Director
Department: Finance; Marketing; and IT
Summer Training Program Overview:
As our journey has recently taken its initial strides, we endeavor to provide a unique summer training opportunity to prospective students. We are committed to provide them with challenging projects to work on, under the personal supervision of our Director. As a career option, depending on the summer training performances, we could consider the top performer of the program for a final placement opportunity with us next year once they complete their MBA.
As a summer training routine, the selected trainees are expected to work five days a week (Saturday and Sunday to be compulsorily included), spending at least 6-7 hours a day on the project. The trainees are required to work from their home and/or the college computer labs. They would be submitting the progress cards on a daily basis to our Director via email. We would have a meeting every week for training updates and finalization of weekly progress cards. Hence to apply with us, the applicants need to have a computer (at home and/or college lab) and access to high speed internet connection.
Project Details:
There are six different projects for students from finance, marketing and IT.
Selection Process:
· The selection process would involve a personal round of interview with the Director.
· We would be hiring maximum one candidate per project per B-School.
Unique Team Management Opportunity:
Shiksha One’s summer training program design is the first ever such module in India, and would be a unique experience for the students. Every trainee in a particular project group will get an opportunity to team up and perform with students from other B-Schools, not only of their home location, but also remotely from other cities. The healthy competition would greatly foster team management abilities and team spirit in the students.
