The learning modules were adapted for school students and were made fun through a combination of diverse media including visual imagery, memes, videos etc. and were conducted by industry experts and professional trainers.
Priyanka Yadav who was part of the program was extremely happy with the experience. She said, “Being a part of GuruQ's learning program was an incredible experience. I learned about essential soft skills that I wouldn’t have learned at this stage if it weren’t for this program as such practical skills are not a part of the school curriculum.”
All the modules were informative and covered important topics like leadership, positive thinking etc. In just two days, I learnt techniques and tricks that I will use over a lifetime. This program has added immense value to me.,” she said.
Lakshay Bhatt called the session a life-changing experience. He said, “I consider myself transformed post the 2-day session. Every session seemed like a capsule of accumulated expertise of the trainers which was simplified for school students and delivered as easy-to-apply action points. Special mention goes to Mr. Pramit J. Nathan who made learning a fun experience with some great life changing information.”
