Skills for Sustainability

Being a trainer to the batch of Hunar Se Rozgar Tak (HSRT) an initiative from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India for Skills Development of the young Indians. Our institute, Apeejay Institute of Hospitality in Navi Mumbai is an empanelled institute by India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) to offer the 6 weeks course in Food & Beverage Service skills, House Keeping Skills and 8 weeks course to offer Food & Beverage Production Skills.Over the last few months, my involvement as a Faculty for these school dropouts was enriching and challenging as well. The minimum qualification requirements is 8^th pass and the candidate should fit in the age group of 18 years to 28 years.I enjoy teaching these youngsters the basic concept of Hospitality, Service Attitude and Etiquette required for the industry . Most of them come from the rural areas .Understanding and communicating in English is a challenge. I use Hindi as a language medium to teach and communicate. At the same time teach them basic English as well.
Most of them enjoy being in a college class room after a long gap in their education. They are hardworking, sincere, punctual and humble. They take down notes in their own language and ask plenty of questions to understand .They go through intense practical sessions besides receiving the theory inputs which are subject specific. With neat and clean uniforms provided free as part of the course, they also receive free toolkit, study material, lunch, refreshments and stipend of Rs.1500.The final examination is conducted after the completion of 6 weeks and they receive a course completion certificate from the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India.In 6 weeks time ,they are groomed to take up entry level jobs in the Hospitality Industry. Many Hospitality companies visit us to recruit them .They are offered a salary between Rs 7000- Rs 11 000 per month along with statutory benefits like Provident Fund, ESIC, Insurance, Bonus, Maternity Benefit, ,Paid Leaves etc. Most take up employment and move into organized sector. They are performing well in their jobs. It has given me immense satisfaction and fulfillment to make them employable and achieve sustainability in the professional and personal lives.
