Training Tomorrow's Leaders

How did you get the idea for Career Bootcamp 2015?

Don: I have been conducting a six-module career development workshop at ULAB and East West University for a long time, and have noticed drastic improvement among my students. I thought that this type of learning opportunity should be presented to all students from Bangladesh. 

Tell our readers a bit about the programme. 

Don: Career Bootcamp 2015 is one of our own flagship events. It is a three-day long career development workshop. Upon completion, attendees will be awarded certificates. All the modules are carefully selected and will be implemented with an aim to develop the career and leadership traits among the college and university students and even fresh graduates. It is very different as it goes beyond academic knowledge. It is derived from my personal experiences – from working in the corporate world, and also from my teaching and career counseling experience over the last six years.

How is this different from other career related workshops? What are the distinguishing features?

Don: Career Bootcamp 2015 is unique. This is the first time in Bangladesh that students and fresh graduates will get the complete package of necessary elements to ensure a proper career build-up. Participants will be provided with six specialised trainings: the realities of the Bangladesh job Market, the global CV, leadership redefined, communication and public speaking skills, the interview preparations, and mock interview board.

In the Global CV session, alongside enlightening the participants on how to make an international standard CV, we will have a professional photographer present to take proper CV-quality pictures for each participant. Moreover, the 'mock interview board' will consist of corporate leaders who will take interviews of each participant so that they can get a taste of real-life job interviews. 

How do you think the attendees will be benefited? 
Don: The youth of Bangladesh are very talented, but lack the motivation and proper career guideline. Our target is to provide that path, make them realise their potential, and motivate them to do great things in their respective fields. If you look at the topics, you will notice that it is more practical and have been developed from real life corporate experiences. This workshop will change their lives for the better, and we guarantee it.
