How does 361° Edge without presence of teachers and faculty?
361° Edge makes the best of both worlds - classroom and remote learning - by combining their advantages. The program merges technology with appropriate human interventions that support the program at various stages. There are twelve different kinds of human interventions in a full-scale program.
What if my students' current schedule gets upset by 361° Edge program schedule?
We have structured the program to be flexible for students, as they can schedule 361° Edge sessions to accommodate their regular classes, college examinations, breaks, or any other academic activities.
In the initial years, my students are finding their feet with respect to their courses. Why would you want to tax them then?
Despite the fact that students are coming to terms with their course in the initial years, it is our belief that those years are when the pressure on them is the least. Compare it with the pressure in the final year, when final exams and grades, applying to universities or attending campus interviews remain priority areas. There are other anxieties and pressures students are dealing with too.
We believe in beginning in the early part of college life, when their mind is unclogged. Helping them hone their career competency skills in their initial years gives them a tremendous advantage. The environment is perfect and time is ample to practice their newly learnt skills, as most of these skills are habit-forming in nature.
In what way does 361° Edge prepare my students for their future?
361° Edge helps young students to sharpen their career-related skills and add new ones to their repertoire. The program provides them an edge over their peers from other colleges, which builds confidence and clarity in them about their careers, and contributes to your reputation in the professional world.
Your students are not just taught new skills; they are also encouraged to practice them in real life. This makes them proactive and aware of the expectations in the professional world. 361° Edge features regular mentoring and periodic evaluation to ensure that your students are progressing towards their goal.
How does 361° Edge compare with self help CDs, e-learning or online video courses?
While CDs and multimedia courses make use of technology, they fail on the human interface front. 361° Edge makes the best use of traditional learning and futuristic learning through their strategic human interventions of wide variety. There are twelve different kinds of human interventions in a full-scale program. Technology is only a carrier of learning; but does not make the learning effective automatically. It needs human intelligence, insights and interventions to make it a complete learning program, which the 361° Edge program provides effectively.
The corporate world's changing on a day-to-day basis. How are you equipping students for the latest?
At 361° Edge, we are in constant touch with colleges, corporates and students. Our experience includes first-hand interaction with students and professionals from various levels - from CEOs and senior leaders to middle-level managers, first-time managers, freshers at work, young graduates, college students and even school students. We have worked with people from 20 different nationalities, in 5 countries. We use this experience to constantly update 361° Edge and help students keep in touch with the changing corporate world.
How do you monitor students' performances?
We constantly do so through the program. Performance and progress is tracked and assessed by persons partnering in the student's learning process, as well as by technology-driven elements. Feedback forms an integral part of the process.
How is 361° Edge different from other finishing school/ career competency programs?
In many ways...
People behind 361° Edge have decades of experience of working with, training, mentoring, coaching corporate, CEOs and managers of 20 nationalities, working in India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. They have also been mentoring young graduates for careers and higher education in top education institutes of India and abroad. This twin exposure gives them a unique perspective - both from the corporates end and the college students' end. Hence their approach to the issue of employability in college graduates is all-rounded and comprehensive.
Moreover, the parent company - 361DM - is a research oriented organization in the field of learning and education. Their programs follow scientific principles encapsulated in their Adult Learning Guide and Remote Learning Manual. The 361° Edge program was conceived based on a detailed survey done amongst various stakeholders - students, parents, colleges, corporates and various industries - to get an understanding of their requirements.
Most career-related programs focus only on English speaking, problem solving, interview questions in the final year, and pass them off as career competency development programs. 361° Edge Career Competency programs take far comprehensive and all-rounded approach, taking the student step-by-step through the scientific process of habit forming.
Most of the other programs tend to focus on IT industry, whereas 361° Edge is industry agnostic. It is relevant for varied industries and careers. Moreover, our program is not meant only for the corporate world, but is also a launch pad for students opting for higher studies. Its career engine tool is available to students for life, which would be useful every time they want to make a career-shift decision.
Resources like Career Engine and library are available to students even after they complete the program. So if they wish to make a career switch at a later point in life, 361° Edge is still around to give them a helping hand.
