3 All objects have a story to tell, but puppets are objects with rare power, writes puppet expert Steve Abrams. This program has tried to provide an essential link between real expectation of the employers and the current skill level of youngsters and also to give them the hope how Redington Foundation can help them to attain the level of employers expectation. The preparation for the show itself gained a lot of attention of all age group people of that place and gathered all of them before the puppets with enthusiasm and eagerness. The show started with welcoming the crowd, then the puppeteer asked several questions to the children over there for which they were answering at once with full joy. The objective of the show is to spread messages among economically and educationally backward community about our Employability Training program so as to develop the skills of the unemployed youth to get them employed in the right job. We have planted a seed and we wish to see it growing strong. 1

4 Step Up In The Career Ladder The dream of every aspiring college fresher is to get placed in a good corporate company before finishing the final examination. The preparation would have been started in the beginning of the final year and as an add-on Redington Foundation has also contributed to shape and polish the rough diamond to dazzle in the corporate market. It is apparently known that there is a huge difference between the employers expectation and the youth skill level. We, Redington Foundation bridges this gap not only by providing the necessary skill training to the students but also by bringing down the corporates to the campus for recruiting the young talents. The Interviews were held at the Elite Centres of Thiruvalluvar College - Papanasam, Sri Sarada College for women -- Thirunelveli, VHNSN College - Virudhunagar, TKS College Of Arts & Science -Theni, Syed Hameedha Arts & Science college - Kilakarai, DKM College for women, Vellore in a tremendous way. Kudos to the CSR Team This January month and February first week had been a golden period for our students of Elite Centres (Centres in rural colleges) who attended first level of interview with various employers and have been short listed by the employers. 2

The employers found the students very confident and fearless while attending the interview. They observed that the students were very focused about their career and there was a clarity in their answers. The students are little lacking with regard to the English communication but it was understood that it is a matter of practice which can be improved. We have contributed to improve the students personality and we have also seen the result of that out of these placement drives, so we and our students are confident that they can also excel in English Language with practice. 3

7 Events of January 2018 The students of the Non Collegiate Women s Education Board, who attend the college in the weekends because of their poor financial background, are attending our College Connect program at, University of Delhi.

8 A Mock Interview was conducted at GTN College, Dindigul for B.Com (CA) students on 25th January As the students were already rendered with Training on various areas like Interview Etiquette, Body Language Etiquette etc, this Interview was conducted in the View of evaluating them. The external person Mr. Jude Prakash, Freelance Trainer of Redington Foundation (Syed Hameedha College, Ramnad) Conducted the Mock Interview for 17 students. The inference given by him was all the students were very good in the traits needed for a person who wants to be employed but on the whole everyone should equip with even more a better Communication Skill. 6

9 Redington Foundation RAMP Centre Our REDINGTON FOUNDATION identified that most of the upcoming youth in the area across Thanjavur district (Delta Region) are lacking in technological awareness though they are good in academics. To address this issue we started Redington Accredited Manning Programme (RAMP) Centre in Thanjavur for Entrepreneurship and Self-Employment Training, where students get self-employment and other business opportunities (i.e., work from home) through this training. Besides that Redington Foundation imparts soft skill training to rural college students through READ programme, thus equipped them with skills needed for their employment. RAMP centre enables graduate students to acquire practical knowledge and application of their subject as well as Soft Skill for communication development and practical/technical for Typesetting, e- Publishing & Big Data Analytics. With the support of technology and expert trainers we conduct this training and enable them to emerge as young enterprising entrepreneurs: under 30 and on fire. 7

12 Recognitions Art of living Foundation is engaged inter alia in holistic education and personality development. As part of our employability skills training we also focus on the personality development. Through various soft skill trainings, students are getting trained to enhance their self confidence. Still the students do not have the clarity in their mind on their career. Aol program focuses on clarity in mind, purity in heart and sincerity in action. Impressed with this slogan, we associated with aol foundation and included their five days youth development program as part of our employability skill training. Approximately 1200 students got benefited. Aol at their recent program in Chennai, recognised Redington s CSR activities as the best. Redington has been associated with Gandhigram Trust for the last three years and focussed on community development program through its employability skill training.
