'Mind The Gap' Workshop Series

Objective

To sensitize and enable the senior year students of colleges to be better prepared for post academic rigor in the corporate/business/enterprise world. 

Approach

“Mind-the-Gap” Workshop Series is intended to be a grounds-up, collaborative and an inclusive effort. The sessions are expected to be based on an intensive, hands-on, interactive session design. The Workshop Series will have 3 phases, namely: 

1. Phase 1: Kick-off Workshop

• To set the tone, intentions, expectations from the workshop series.
• To identify the top-5 gaps, prioritize and firm up action plan for the next set of workshops.
• To be conducted with the students of both programs across 2 sessions.
• Mahesh Baxi & Ketan Hajarnavis will act as facilitators and enablers.

2. Phase 2: Gap Workshops

• Based on the top-5 gaps, Mahesh & Ketan will conduct 5 workshops on each of the gaps.
• Each workshop will be broken down into 2 sessions each to cater to the students from the two programs.
• Mahesh Baxi & Ketan Hajarnavis will act as facilitators and enablers.

3. Phase 3: Round-up Workshop

• To round-up learning from previous workshops and use as a consolidated framework for way forward
