Program duration is 4 Months. Engagement is Bi-weekly sessions, 2–3 hours weekly, plus coaching squad activities via Live Webinars, and Fireside Chats. Candidates will be given weekly assignments and tasks.
Our learning journey focuses on equipping participants with the soft skills, emotional intelligence, and personal excellence needed to thrive and stand out in any organization or business environment.
