Finishing school

HCDC will work as an autonomous body collaborating with all the faculties and departments in the University. The Finishing School concept is to help the student know what they want on the career front, be it a job placement / higher education  / be an entrepreneur. Life skills are needed for a successful career. Students must have a purpose in life to forge ahead. One mustbe inspiring, charismatic, motivate others, and lead by example. Most schools in India do not provide personality development programs to students. Students will be helped to work on social skills. Counseling, guidance has to be delivered to enhanceself-confidence and overcome the fear factor of public speaking. Skills like Interpersonal Communication, building rapport, staying strong, knowing rights, Practice, Good Planning, Pep talk, knowing your worth, Confidence, Empathy, Conceptual thinking, self-startingability, leadership skills, being organized, time management, management, presentation are all of paramount importance for any career choices made, in fact for leading a quality life too.

The laser focus would be on making the student Learn About One's Own UniqueSelf, Work On Exceptional Communication Skills, Build A Strong Body Language, Properly Plan For Better Performance, Express Own Opinions, Be An Attentive Listener. Being a voice is being impactful, strong, and responsible. It takes a lot of churning to be shaped with a strong voice. Generating ideas and being vocal with crystal clear messaging is an art. The ability to form connections and be connected with others is something only a few have mastered over the years with grit and determination by using the best techniques for overall development. We, at HCDC, recognized the importance of the above said. Finishing school will be part of the curriculum from the firstyear onwards. Regardless of their career choices, students will be required to attend the sessions to be molded as world-class "future shapers."
