What are Soft-Skills?
Skills are broadly divided into Hard Skills and Soft Skills. Both these verticals are so closely interlaced that we recommend you to see Soft-Skills in contrast with Hard Skills to generate better understanding.
Hard skills are teachable, quantifiable and relate to a specific job. Hard skills are abilities learned through formal education or courses. Thus all domain knowledge like school certificates, degrees, professional courses such as engineering, medical, IT, MBA, Accounting and so on falls under Hard Skills. On the other side, Soft-Skills like traits, behaviour, values and belief make you a good leader, employee, entrepreneur etc.
Precisely, we can understand the importance of soft-skills in following points:
- 1. While Hard Skills are required for the first filtration process, a person cannot move the ladder of success without having correct understanding and possession of Soft-Skills.
- 2. Hard-Skills are acquired with the help of Soft-Skills. Ex. In order to crack any prestigious exam like JEE, NEET, UPSC, CDS, NDA, SSC and many more, the participant needs a certain degree of commitment, determination and intense hardships which are called Soft-Skills.
- 3. Soft-Skills are further grouped into broader sets.
- 4. We can also put that a specialist at the time of fresher become generalist at the level of CEO. Here specialist correlates with hard skill while generalist with soft-skills.
- 5. Please note that the Degree of Soft-Skills differs at different ladders of success and expectations exponentially increase with upward movement.
What is ActuatorVivek all about?
Continuing from 1st question, in order to gain better success, we need to bring down rejections which can be achieved through better mental preparation. ActuatorVivek is addressing this gap by offering holistically interlaced 360° Soft-Skills Programs driven with a focus on Professional Career Growth.
Our Career Programs for Youth make them rightly attributed enabling them to achieve their hard skills with better sharpness thereby emerge as a welcoming professional in the professional world.
Are these Career Programs another Gyan Sessions?
Gyan flows everywhere and throughout life. It started with parents, then in school, then college and then with every supervisor and in training programs and finally with Adhyatma. At ActuatorVivek, we differentiate ourselves by having clear program outcomes supported by multiple test series. The programs are embedded with stories, case studies and activities which are tested through multiple test series to hammer the learning right into one’s memory. So this is much beyond a generic Gyan session.
Why ActuatorVivek? Importance of a Facilitator
Closely interpret the life story of Swami Vivekanand and Paramhans, we will find the importance of a facilitator. Everyone has a facilitator in life and he can be anyone viz. our parent, teacher, supervisor, ideal, trainer, coach, mentor, orators etc. Facilitators role is to rightly attribute their trainee and facilitate them to achieve their best self of that time. Facilitators role and level differ at different stages. Once a person is built upon with these attributes; experience takes up as biggest facilitator and then we start clarifying our queries in bits and pieces from different and more mature sources.
ActuatorVivek is a very serious initiative in this direction to communicate and mirror the world reality vs soft abilities required to be successful. We differ in our approach and while our programs are full of Gyan but they do not end with gyan but with clear goal, understanding and execution process. Please note that success starts once you start moving on yourself and our focus is to activate you towards an independent and fulfilling life.
I feel myself equiped well with Soft-Skills, What value addition will ActuatorVivek do?
Yes, we go through direct or indirect soft-skills training at home, school, college and with friends and humans are very capable of learning from their mistakes. But real-world is harsh and opportunistic, and in addition, we have evolved immensely to a level where changes are happening at incomparable pace and level of perfection is creating newer benchmarks. We can observe these changes across domains especially technology, and many more are in the works. We will surely awestruck you with a few examples in the program. We bring in decades of experience in the professional world and have fine know-how of dealing in different situations. Those who feel they are rightly attributed have more requirement of this program because no one is perfect and if you get a few differentiating perspectives from these programs can bring that thrust in your movement to success. A facilitator acts as a catalyst in your life. The way a reactive substance needs a respective catalyst to initiate the true capabilities of the substance, a true facilitator acts in learner’s life. ActuatorVivek is playing the same role.
What is the specific outcome of these Career Programs?
Enabling our youth to
1. Either identify clear Career Goal or to understand the way to explore the same; and
2. Learn the process orientation to achieve Precision in Execution.
How come Career Goal necessary now?
Please analyse this statement “Every age is right but what is the right age.” OR “Every time is right but what is the right time.”
If you closely analyse a few very successful lives, you will observe that most got into the direction at a younger stage even in their single-digit age. An easy example would be of a Sportsperson, IITian, Medical student, they all show their spark right at 11-13 years and then prepare for the target.
Nevertheless, life can start at any point and we want you to get sparked now.
Are different age group participants to attend same session?
Though the clarity of thoughts and ability to execute has a poor relationship with age, we have customized our programs to suit different ages and classes to be specific. So the content delivery changes between class 9 and class 10, class 11 and class 12, BTech 2nd Year and BTech 3rd and so on. More than age, there are so many other factors too which decide content delivery and its rigour. You should be concerned with getting the understanding. We assure you to have a connected, engaging and take away session.
What is the duration of the Program?
As our program contents are comprehensive and interlaced, the program will be spread over the day with regular breaks for assignments and activities in between.
