An algorithm approach, the Interest Inventory, is a picture-based assessment of the student's interest through 60-65 pictures shown to them |
|
The students are asked to imagine themselves doing those jobs without worrying about their abilities to do them |
|
This enables the counsellor to guide the student towards the course that invokes maximum interest in the student instead of being dictated by personal bias |
|
Once the course is decided, the next counsellor meets the student and takes them through innovative audio-video materials. Realistic portrayal of the workplace helps them make informed choices |
|
Tata STRIVE invites parents of the students as well, to showcase demo of classroom sessions, tools & equipment to be used and apprises them about activities that shall take place. The parents are involved in the decision making process, to participate in the decision-making process which eventually leads to regular attendance and reduction in the probability of dropouts |
|
Tata STRIVE does not share any domain knowledge with the students during the initial 12 days of the course |
|
Students are encouraged to introspect on their lives and aspirations and given a portfolio to write or doodle their thoughts, reflections, dreams and ambitions |
|
On the completion of 12 days, these writings and doodles are showcased in a gallery and a guest is invited to behold them in the presence of the students |
|
At the end of 12 days, the students are asked whether they would like to continue pursuing the course |
|
As per the recent observation, 90-95% continue, while the rest are allowed to leave |
|
The classes are conducted 9-5 daily with a special emphasis on values, beliefs, emotions and self-confidence, which prepare the students well in advance for their careers |
