| Faith InfoTech runs a uniqe learning programme named PROPEL for fresh B.Tech, MCA, M.Sc (IT/CS) Graduates. PROPEL has been designed to meet the requirements of the software industry for competent workforce. It prepares candidates to begin their career in this exciting field and develop themselves into successful professionals in the long term.
PROPEL focuses on holistic development of the participants. Keeping this in mind, the designers of PROPEL have given a balanced treatment of different areas such as technology, soft skills, language fluency, behavioural orientations and basic business knowledge. The programme enables participants to become professionals who solve real-world problems through the medium of software.
The total duration of the programme
is 71 working days, divided into five‘Camps’.
Each Camp has a major objective, and builds over the
learning from the previous Camps. Camp 1 helps
the participants to understand their future roles and
to take charge of building their career. Camps
2 to 5 cover the major part of the content, with a project
in each Camp.
The details of the five Camps are given
below: |
|
| Camp 1 (3days) |
- Participants set targets to be achieved within a two year period, and commit to develop the knowledge, skills and orientations required to achieve them, taking personal responsibility while working in a collaborative environment.
|
- Participants prepare a case study
on solving problems using software.
|
- Participants and facilitators set norms for collaboratively creating the learning environment, to maximize learning in the subsequent camps.
|
|
| Camp 2 (12days) |
