Ahead of Times Fellowship from FUEL

Why do rural students fall behind in careers?
Why do students with 90-95% marks also fail in jobs?
Why do 75% engineering students not get jobs? NASSCOM
Most students lack hands-on-training and even some basic skills, which is why even after securing 90-95% marks in graduation, many students fail to get a good job. There is a wide gap between the skills of rural and urban students, which is why many rural students are deprived of opportunities. FUEL NGO gives students an opportunity to learn some vital skills that will assist them in making a career in their respective fields. FUEL NGO will train a select group of students in vital skills to keep them ahead of others during placements. Attend FUEL NGO’s ‘Ahead of Times’ workshop in your vacations and become the ‘Leaders of 2020’. This program will bridge the gap between rural and urban students and bring rural students at par with urban students in terms of skills.
These are some of the skills FUEL will teach at the workshop.
Using Internet, Email, Typing, Table Manners, Resume Writing, Speaking in Public, Speaking in a Group, Communication Skills, Introduction of Engineering Branches, English Skills, Use of Software like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Introduction to Animation, Group Discussion and Personal Interview Skills, Teamwork Skills, Introduction to Computer Languages, Active Citizenship, Body Language… and much much more…
These skills are extremely important for a successful career in any field, but are not taught at colleges.
