MBA Alone is not sufficient for Employability!

Recruiters have become extremely demanding now. Irrespective of the grade or ranking of your business-school, all employers expect your students to be loaded with business-critical skills.

Therefore, we need to ask some critical questions. Do our students exactly know what will their first job demand from them? Do they have those skills that will be needed to deliver well in the entry level roles? Honestly, are they aware of how marketing, finance, people management and operations change as they move from one industry to another? Can they hit the ground running right in their first job?

Well, to be candid, MBA programs were never designed for today’s scenarios. And therefore, a plain vanilla MBA program even of the very best of institution hardly prepares students for the real world. Today, we need strong supplements and complements to a typical MBA program to “nourish” a business qualification.

SkillTone Works to Fill Those Skill Gaps…

Think SkillTone. One of the India’s first fast track Employability Enhancement programs for business & management professionals. That’s the magic of 100 hours, 4 Optimized Modules, 17 methodologies, and 25 skills.

SkillTone is designed to power, drive and steer your students’ career the way - dare we say - they may never be able to do on their own. It clinically identifies and removes all possible bottlenecks to an MBA’s rapid, high-voltage professional growth.

And therefore, once your institution signs on SkillTone, we take complete charge of your students’ skill-development. So that your entire faculty has to do is to grill them in concepts. All along, we keep building your students’ skill-sets and competencies systematically to ensure they’re always one up on the times not behind!
