According to Higher Education statistics 80% of the colleges in
India are from non-metro cities. These institutes have fulfilled the
engineering dreams of many students locally. To meet the aspiration of the
Kerala students in the last 10 years many colleges have come here but they are
located at distance from each other making it harder for corporate to visit all
of them. Today these Institutions don’t have proper access to corporate for
placements like the older reputed institutes and institutes located in the
metros. Hence to bridge the gap between the corporate and these institutions
and to increase the job access to the students the concept FLAG born.
“We at present work with various corporate houses across the
country and educational institutions across Tamilnadu, Kerala & Karnataka to
enable graduate hiring in a pre-planned manner. Since inception, from 2011, we
are receiving enormous response from both the corporate houses and
institutions. We also partnered with CII for their industry expertise and
enhance the reach. With our data we found that students hired from non-metros through
FLAG sticks to the company long and hence reduce the attrition level” he added.
Ambalavanan,
CTO, EmployabilityBridge said “Our technology platform – www.employabilitybridge.com plays a critical role in
our FLAG event by enabling students and companies to pre-select whom they want
to meet and for the smooth execution of the FLAG event in organized manner. Our
technology platform enables corporate to interact with their future employees
& prepare them for success in their first job till they join them. This
greatly increases the joining ratio as well as reduces the graduate training
effort & time for companies. “
Rev. Fr. Geo
Pulickal, Chairman, Vimal Jyothi Engineering College said that “Vimal Jyothi is
happy to host the students from colleges across states. FLAG is really a good
opportunity for the students from rural institutions to get access to leading
companies across the country. We are happy to have hosted students from
colleges in the Kerala region to participate in the FLAG. I wish more corporate
should take part in the upcoming FLAG events to widen the opportunities.”
Our next flag
event in Kerala is scheduled for April.
