Please read below Masoom's perspective on the new centre and our partnership:
Given the
inadequacies in the Night School infrastructure, there are several children in
the Night School who are not able to fulfil their aspirations to move up in
life. They have the desire to pick up and strengthen their skill sets, but the
Night Schools are not equipped to meet their aspirations. Masoom
is a not-for-profit organisation with a passion for establishing quality
education in Night Schools. In order to achieve this, Masoom partners with
Night Schools to facilitate the “Night School Transformation Programme”. The
Transformation Programme is specifically tailored to meet the needs of the
Night School and the individual students.
Based on the
studies conducted by Masoom, it was felt that the two broad areas where such
skills upgradation will have a substantial positive impact were Communication
skills, especially English Conversational Skills, and Vocational Skills, which
enhance the employability and hence the livelihood generating capabilities for
the students. Accordingly, Masoom decided to set up a Resource Centre that would
offer courses to help the students pick up skills to make them future ready.
The Resource
centre was inaugurated on Dec 8, 2012 by Mr. Chris Way, Founder – Reality Gives
and Ms. Nikita Chawla of HR College. The Resource Centre is currently training
two batches of 10 students each on Computer Proficiency and one batch of 14
students on English Conversation Skills. It will add more market oriented courses
in the future.
The Resource
centre is a key component of Masoom’s Career Cell, which provides personalized
and group coaching & guidance to the students of Masoom enabled Night
Schools, and equips them with skills that help them make informed choices about
their future.
Masoom is
grateful to Reality Gives for their support towards setting up the Resource
Centre.
