Farzana’s Journey

Hello, I am Farzana. Let me take you on a tour of my experience as a learner at Tata STRIVE.

Awareness

Pre-Enrollment

My story started after finishing Graduation course in Computer Engineering-

  • Became aware of the CyberShikshaa course through college classmates in May 2021
  • Interest piqued, I delved into research on the Cyber Security field and invested in a new phone and laptop to ensure the best possible learning experience
  • Received another WhatsApp message in June 2021 for an upcoming batch

I knew I had found the right place for a secure future.

Admission

Career Path Choice

People often wonder about their career choices in life but for me, selecting my career path felt as easy as having a friendly conversation.

  • Discussion session with center faculty about my interests, future plans, career inclination before enrollment
  • Online induction session conducted on 22nd June 2021 where the course structure, timing, modules were introduced to all learners

Voila, I was inducted into the CyberShikshaa++ (Cyber Security) course

Skill On-job Training

Training Period

It was a novel experience

  • Exploring interactive and experiential Cyber Security domain learning with lots of hands-on practical sessions
  • Developing essential life skills and SMART goal-setting through Youth Development Modules
  • Connecting with my inner self and peers and growing in confidence
  • Engaging in 100% digital and standardized training with assignments, quizzes and assessments after every module
  • Participating in guest lectures from industry experts who shared real-life scenarios as mentors

Assessment

During the training, we had regular assessments at the end of each module, which helped me learn and stay on track. These ongoing assessments guided my progress and ensured I understand the course completely.

As we reached the end of the course, we faced a final assessment that tested everything we had learned. It was a chance to showcase our knowledge and skills, marking the end of our course journey.

The final pass marks for the course was 85/100 setting it apart as the Tata STRIVE differentiator factor. Even in the YDM modules, we conducted online group presentations on diverse topics such as ‘youth unemployment’ and ‘garbage disposal’.

Certified

After completing my training and online assessment, I was awarded with a certificate that is also hosted online, with a QR code for convenient online verification.

Placement

Post Training

With a network chain of recruiters from various fields, even before getting my certificate, I had landed a job at BridgeLabz in Dec 2021. I am proud to be a live example of how a single message from Tata STRIVE can change your life.
