Job aspirations and practically matching personal interests and potential with career opportunities are big hurdles for children living in the child care institution. They tend to know little about their own personal interests and capabilities and lack clarity about what they want to be and do in the future. In many cases, they tend towards unrealistic expectations and goals. Due to various reasons, there has been disruption in the academic and personality development. Therefore one of the aims in the education is the development of personalities of the children in order to bring out the best in them, so that they can shine in whichever area they choose to work and become better citizens, in particular during their transition from institutional life to self-dependent life.
So looking to the need of the hour, El Shaddai conducts soft skills training and Personality development Class every Wednesday for the young youths living in the child care institutions. Around 30 young youths are attending the class.
The sessions are taken by Matthew, The co-founder and the managing Trustee of El Shaddai with an objective to familiarize youths with the emerging ideas and trends on how to develop personality and its importance in the current days. He taught the children to work with various professionals, people and groups to understand the meaning of life and work in the present context; to enhance their communication skills and interpersonal skills in order to function in professional and social settings effectively; to enrich the academic language skills for academic writing and presentations; to understand effective planning, time management and implementation for setting goals and achieving both personal and professional goals; to learn to evaluate oneself for further growth, personally and professionally, how to lead through crisis, taking up responsibilities without giving excuses. Apart from Personality development, we are also providing soft skill training to the children which will be useful in both personal as well as professional life.
