FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITY

The only business that caters to entire student and employee market

About Us
Vividh Edutech Private Limited is incorporated under the Indian Companies Act 1956. The company is formed by its Managing Director, Mr Ashish Bhagoria, who merged his two more ventures operational since 1998 in the field of Telecom Services and Education, Ashnet Enterprises and ITM Solutions, into Vividh Edutech Pvt Ltd. In the year 2001, the company got affiliated to Punjab Technical University, Jalandhar (a State Government University formed under legislature act and recognized by UGC). At present Vividh Edutech Pvt Ltd is running two Learning Centres of Punjab Technical University (PTU) and is offering UG and PG Diploma / Degree Courses in the field of Information Technology and Management. We opened our first PTU Learning Center in 2001 and after a successful break through we opened the second in year 2004. Every year the company enrolls and trains more than 500 students for the courses like, BBA, BCA, B.Sc.-IT, DCA, MBA, MCA, M.Sc-IT and PGDCA. In the year 2007, Vividh Edutech Pvt Ltd developed a corporate training program to improve employability of students, with a name Professional Education Program (PEP). On December 6, 2007, the PEP was launched through a Franchise Network of Bubble Centres at various locations to experience the market and methodology before launching the program to mega centres. In the first few moths of operations in 2008, our Training Centres enrolled and trained many students from different streams, qualification levels and categories. As a result of the training, these students are now placed with the industry as per their qualifications and are getting better salary package than what they could get with the same qualification at the time of joining PEP. The PEP is designed on an unconventional activity based training methodology that does not give theoretical knowledge but trains students practically without books on the required four parameters - Personality Grooming Skills, English Communication Skills, Management Skills and I T Skills. The duration of PEP training is from one month to one year and the fee structure has been framed to make the training qualitative and affordable for the students. The training is given by the trained trainers under professional environment. In the year 2009, PEP went through major up-gradations and improvements. Earlier PEP was offered as a single training program and now the program is being offered in 16+ flavours to serve the needs of individual student. During the same year we started developing an online portal for the Franchisees and Students. This portal will process and manage all activities happening during the training process.

Apart from this, Vividh Edutech Pvt Ltd spent lot of time and money in positioning the brand through various marketing activities like participating in National / International events, targeting media, tie-ups with corporate, etc. Our other divisions are into Software & Web Solutions and Marketing Services.

About PEP
The Concept of PEP was developed when we dealt with students and employees. There are more than 90% students who in spite of having good qualification are not fit for senior level jobs or for handling a project as an entrepreneur. While recruiting employees it was not easy to find a suitable employee who could take responsibility of any single department. Either management had to compromise in terms of quality or the employee had to compromise in terms of good salary package. Then after a complete survey and an exhaustive research we were staring at the following factors, which influenced the students performance when they got into professional life or get a job: Family background Standard of living Surrounding environment 12 15 years of schooling where no focus is given 3 5 years of college life for fun No Clear Directions of What is to be achieved in Life Financial constraints Local / Regional / Cultural factors No industry exposure

On the other hand employees start with entry level or executive level jobs but they are not ready to take up more responsibilities curtailing their growth to senior level or top management level positions and they keep continuing to struggle at existing levels or become job hoppers, whenever their inefficiencies were exposed or they were not able to perform. So what goes into selecting a candidate for a particular post and what would be the factors that would decide the selection, the pay package and the overall position the candidate gets? Selection of employee / Interview process: The first step in selection procedure when the candidate meets the management is interview and this is the platform that will decide profile and salary package of candidate. This process goes in following phases: 1. The moment a candidate enters the room and sits before interviewers, 50% of the interview is already done, and in a lot of cases decision already made. The panel of experts evaluates and decides what will be the appropriate profile and salary package of that particular candidate. It is the Personality of candidate that decides his next phase where he / she can perform.

2. At this level when the candidate starts interacting with interviewers, the ability to handle the communication is evaluated because management doesnt need only those who are fluent in speaking but those who can even handle official correspondence or entire business communication to deal with internal management and external agencies, organizations and customers. For this candidate must have good English Communication Skills. 3. Now the interviewers will prefer that if Personality and Communication Skills are up to the mark, can candidate manage his / her tasks, operations, team, finance, etc. At this level they evaluate Management Skills. 4. Finally the tool used in todays environment is computer. So, candidate must have knowledge to handle his / her activities with the help of computer and must have I T Skills for required areas. Therefore, in addition to Qualification, Work Experience and Knowledge, employers prefer people with good: A) B) C) D) Corporate Traits Corporate Language Corporate Management Corporate Computing

There are socially uplifting benefits experienced by certain sections owing to a capable interaction with the larger world through these skill enhancements and knowledge empowerment. The power of possessing these skills has ever since been considered as a must for achievement of one's goals. A significant proportion of our educated generations consisting of students and job seekers as well as people working in varied professions have an impediment in the area of having these basic skills. This fact is well documented, recognized and has now been looked at with concerned interest. In this scenario PEP bridges the gap that currently exist between the skill sets required for good employability and better communication, and the skills acquired by students through their formal education. PEP achieves this by focusing on their overall development by maintaining high standards in the chosen sphere by using innovative, well researched, acclaimed training methodology and technology.

PEP Training Methodology: PEP is a pioneer in creating an original non-conventional activity based training format, which is combined along with its specially designed methodology initiating interactive student-to-student sessions and student-totrainer sessions. The focus is more towards enhancing practical skills of a student. Therefore, no books are given to students and the training is conducted by creating a mock of the live environment on each topic. The training also involves active participation of student and provides first hand experience of various situations that they would face in corporate life. By way of practically implementing the concepts during the training, it becomes easier to re-implement those concepts in real life situations. The students at PEP are given specially designed concept based activities prepared by PEP supplemented by PEP's response to these Programs. These are based on specific illustrations and are delivered through personal instructions in a well defined step by step procedure laid out for training process. For the convenience of trainers, separate trainer manuals are designed, which cover all modules and topics including entire training schedule. All PEP trainers are trained and certified by PEP before they start training the students at the Training Centre and is ensured that every student who comes in touch with PEP is bound to get great results. Student Evaluation System: The performance evaluation system is based on grading system, which has two parameters, daily attendance and daily progress. The use of this methodology ensures undivided attention of the students as it incorporates involvement and learning in a way that has never been done before. With proven competence it is a hit amongst its learners as it focuses on increasing the grasping ability and enables faster and effective implementation. The idea is to create a having fun while learning experience that goes through practical you do it techniques, which when accomplished ensures that you acquire the skill set permanently. It is like teaching the student swimming in the swimming pool and not in a theory class.

PEP Modules and Topics: PEP training is very flexible and need based. There is a variety of flavours available for the students. In broader way PEP covers 4 modules as essentially required parameters for a professional career and 100 topics, which can be restructured and customized: A) Personality Grooming Skills 1.
