Shailaja Anand Deole: B.Voc in Early Child Development (Navy Nagar, Mumbai)

This programme is really helpful from the beginning as it stresses upon practical

experience and not just promotes theory. Since I am assisting a teacher, I get a hands on

experience in managing children in classroom. It’s very convenient for me since, both

practical and theory classes are conducted in Navy Nagar. This course will help me get a

job as a teacher in the future. This course enables me in securing a job as an early

childhood educator and gives me the confidence to start a crèche. The focus on english language fluency

is an added advantage.

Aasawari Raut: B.Voc in BFSI (CIBMRD, Nagpur)

I am pursing B.Voc in BFSI from TISS-SVE at CIBMRD, Nagpur. I am completely

enjoying my on-the-job training at Arvind Sahakri Bank Ltd., where I am assisting in

deposits and loan department. It feels good when I see operations in bank and

connect them with whatever I have studied in my classroom training. Trainers are

really good, they teach us well and in a very easy manner. I am so happy that I got

this opportunity at an early age.

Taskeen Khan: Certificate Course in Inbound & Outbound Tour Operations (Costa

Training Institute, Mumbai)

This course by Costa Training Institute under TISS-SVE has provided me the concept and

knowledge in the field of travel and tourism. It offers a broad range of opportunities in

the field of tourism destination and attraction, airlines and hospitality.

Rahul Mohanty: B.Voc in Electronics (Funfirst Global Skillers, Noida)

This course has helped me to improve my skills on electronics and its devices and also

learn about the manufacturing of mobile phones. After the completion of this course, I
