PRIDE has two sections : JOB & ME
According to the students’ performance level they are placed in a work placement program either in the JOB [Job Opportunities in Business] program or the ME [Micro Enterprise] program.
For a JOB candidate, the focus is career planning, including preparing CVs, on-the-job training sessions, learning office skills etc. This is an extensive effort which could span many years and would culminate in a tailor made pre-selected synergistic role within a chosen organization. Assessment of the work environment, accessibility criteria, job carving and training of the corporate team where the graduate is placed is an integral part of this effort. Post employment follow-up is a key component which ensures a successful integration of our Graduates into their new work environment.
A ME candidate on the other hand focuses on enhancing his own inherent creative skill sets which will subsequently be needed in the internally run micro-enterprises. An example of a ME program is jewellery making by the students which is sold in various outlets across UAE. Customized corporate gifts and chocolates is another ME initiative.
