The modern workplace demands more than just academic knowledge; it requires professionals who are adaptable, articulate, and emotionally intelligent. At Catapult, we've designed a comprehensive 12-week, 48-hour program specifically for Indian undergraduates to bridge the gap between campus life and career readiness, ensuring you don't just secure a job, but truly dominate your professional realm.

Core Modules: Mastering the 75% of Career Success

Your long-term career success relies heavily on soft skills—a factor acknowledged by top global CEOs. Our curriculum focuses relentlessly on mastering these critical skills through a balanced approach: approximately 30-45 minutes of theory, 60 minutes of intensive practice, and 15-30 minutes of reflection per session.

1. Communication and Collaboration Mastery

Effective communication is the cornerstone of professional life. We dedicate three weeks to developing both verbal and non-verbal communication skills. You will practice the clarity, tone, and active listening necessary for professional settings. Crucially, you'll learn to navigate cultural nuances in India, such as appropriate eye contact in hierarchical settings

Beyond individual communication, the course focuses on Teamwork and Collaboration. Using team-building exercises like escape room simulations, you will learn conflict resolution, trust-building, and how to effectively manage group dynamics, including regional and linguistic differences prevalent in Indian teams.

2. Leadership and Critical Thinking

The program moves beyond foundational skills to cultivate future leaders. In our Leadership and Initiative module, you'll analyze various leadership styles—from servant to transformational—with relatable Indian examples like A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. This leads into Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking. You will learn analytical thinking tools like mind mapping and apply them to real-world scenarios, such as supply chain issues in Indian SMEs.

3. Personal and Professional Competence

To ensure holistic professional growth, we equip you with crucial personal management skills:

Time Management and Adaptability: You will learn and apply prioritization techniques like the Eisenhower matrix and Pomodoro method. Training also includes scenario planning to help you handle the rapid changes and shifts in the modern environment, such as remote work post-COVID.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Stress Management: Recognizing that high-pressure jobs require resilience, this module covers the key EI components: self-awareness, empathy, and regulation. You will learn stress coping through mindfulness and resilience-building exercises.

The Employability Edge: Launching Your Career

The course culminates with direct, actionable training designed for maximum employability

Professional Networking and Etiquette: Learn how to build a strategic network using platforms like LinkedIn and master essential workplace etiquette, including dress code and digital professionalism.

Interview and Resume Mastery: You'll receive focused training on ATS-friendly resume formats tailored for Indian jobs and practice the STAR method for behavioural questions. This hands-on approach culminates in mock interviews and resume workshops with peer reviews, giving you the confidence to ace any interview.

Catapult is your dedicated partner in igniting potential, ensuring you have the evidence-based skills to not just secure a job, but to truly become a professional powerhouse.
