Mumbai, February 16, 2006: In its endeavor to extend Soft Skills Training to the underprivileged, Aptech, the leading global learning services organization, teamed up with Swati, an NGO associated with CRY to conduct Soft Skills workshop for the underprivileged children in Delhi.
The workshop, which focused on Communication Skills – Verbal & Non verbal and Confidence Building amongst the adolescents from Swati, was conducted by Khushal Bhatia, an ace trainer from the Aptech Soft Skills Training team. The participants spanned an age group of 14-18 years and would be able to derive immediate benefit out of the programme.
Aptech plans to conduct a series of these workshops in 2006 & would cover topics like leadership skills, working in teams, group discussion, motivation, stress management, understanding self for better development and other areas which are vital in the formative years.
Trainers associated with Aptech’s Soft Skills Training team have come forward for this initiative.
