Hi friends presently I am working in Organization called Foundation for Life. In this I am working in project called “The Rural Edge”. In this we are giving BPO training to Koppal district villagers. In this we are selecting “0” literate or maximum 5th passed adults.
To select the candidates we took interview. This is different type of interview, I have newer seen in my life, which I experienced first time in my life. In interview process we gave different challenges to the candidates to check their commitment, their passion to learn. We gave them challenges like learn 10 English words in 5 minutes, count how many bikes are in the campus, clean the bike, dance etc. Many candidates have done this very well and they got selected for the training. Presently we have 155 candidates in 3 centers.
Starting we gave 1 day training at 3 times in different months. In this we empowered them to take their own life responsibility to change their life. We told them that we will support you to learn English and computer, but you have to take the responsibility of learning. We will support you in your learning. This training program made them to take the challenge and to decide to change their life own life.
We had village base training. In this we train them in some English elements like introducing them self, reading, and writing.
Now I am training girl’s candidates. I have 28 girls in my class room. They all are from different villages of Koppal district. Now one month pass in the teaching I got different experience in my teaching process. In teaching curriculum I participated in psychology sessions like stress management, in this they shared their past experience of their life with me and with team. After this session they felt relax and they started concentrating study. Here I felt trust is very important thing in this session. As problem is part of our life, even all girls have many problems in their life. They all had faced different problems and different situations in their life; because of this they have big hope on this training program.
Before starting the training I got training in teaching and in different subject like how candidates may behave, how to empower them in studying, how much should we expect from them, what rezones candidate may give about not studying or not doing the home work etc. Even in my training I am facing those issues. Even I am getting different rezones like stomach pain, head ache, etc. Starting month all girls faced problems like adjusting to the new environment, but now they all are adjusted to the SAMUHA campus.
I am very happy to share that all girls are trying to speak in English, now they can understand and can give the answer in small sentences.
