Testimonials

1. Deepikha, Chellammal Women’s College

I am R. Deepikha and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Commerce from Chellammal Women’s College.  Though, academically I fare very well in my studies, but I am an introvert and  always had a feeling that I have to work on my communication skills. The Barclays training provided the right platform to us, to hone our presentation and communication skills. A number of interactive sessions were conducted which helped us to overcome our barriers and for the first time in my life, I spoke in front of a class of 60 people. The trainers were very friendly and helped us with tips for preparing our resumes and facing interviews.  I am convinced that, It was because of this training, that we were much better prepared in campus interviews than our friends in other colleges who had not undergone the training. I would like to thank Barclays, IAHV and our college managements for organizing this training in our college.

2. Priyanka, Queen Mary’s College, Chennai

I am Priyanka and I am currently studying in Queen Mary’s College, B.Com General final year. I belong to a lower middle class family. My mother is the sole earning member of the family and I have a younger brother studying in 10th standard. Due to this, I was under pressure to get a job immediately after my graduation. I was worried as I did not know anyone who could guide me on how to face an interview and prepare my resume. But the training organized by Barclays Bank, provided us with the right guidance for facing interviews and preparing an effective resume. The interactive sessions helped me to open up and become more confident. Also, this helped me in the campus interviews which were organized in our college and I was selected in HDB Global. I am very thankful to Barclays Bank for organizing this training in our college.

3. Yuvraj Tikekar, Alard College of Engineering, Pune

I am Yuvraj Tikekar. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Engineering from Alard College of Engineering, Pune and was part of the Barclays Soft skills training conducted at our college. Technically I am good, but since I have studied in a vernacular medium school, I was very worried as to how I would fare in interviews. The training conducted by Barclays helped us with tips and tricks for facing interviews. The trainers also guided us while preparing our resumes. In addition to that, as part of the Barclays program, this year many companies came to our campus for interviews. Though these were entry level jobs, many of us got a job before we passed out of college and this would help us to get the relevant experience.

JNPT, Adobe, Just Dial, Canara Bank, Mazgaon Docks, Mahindra Finance, Chowgule Group, Dynamic Prestress, Boston Consulting have supported IAHV’s in water shed management, clean energy, sanitation, education and climate action initiatives.
