Process of Soft Skill Development Program:
Trainers work on completing course coverage for respective subject heads.The course duration ranges from 40 to 60 hours depending on course requirements and period of engagement. The training program encompasses methods of testing and assessment that help to analyze, evaluate and improvise the course as per batch requirement.
