A centre for job-placement and career guidance

  1. Introduction
  • Don Bosco Institutions working all over the world in empowering the lives of young people have felt the need to accompany young people in the crucial moments of their lives when they make important decisions for their future.
  • In order to realize the felt need of the context, a centre for career guidance, training and job placement was established on 15th August 2002 under the banner of `Don Bosco Vazhikaatti` to create an awareness among the rural youth about the job opportunities available in the government and private sectors, through self-employment schemes and career oriented services.  ‘Don Bosco Vazhikaatti’ has been registered as an independent society on 16th February 2009 under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975(TN Reg. No. 39/ 2009: 16/02/2009).
  • Don Bosco Vazhikaatti since its inception has made several remarkable interventions to create awareness among the marginalized youth on career options to impart necessary skills in view of placing them in suitable jobs and making them independent citizens. The organization was recognized by the National Integrity Cultural Academy and The State Human Rights Vigilance Organization and awarded for its outstanding performance in the field of career guidance and job placement, especially for the marginalized youth. In the last three years it has reached out to 31,953 students through 120 career guidance programmes and placed 1,267 people in employment out of 5,139 registered members.
  • At present ‘Don Bosco Vazhikaatti’ extends its services in the territory of Salesian Province of Tiruchy. Our target areas have youth who hail from different walks of life, such as, rural, coastal, tribal, agricultural, semi-urban and urban environments. Our centre has very strong network with many job placement cells in Southern Tamil Nadu, namely, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tuticorin, Salem, Trichy and other Don Bosco Educational Institutions, animated in three regions: Trichy, Salem and Tuticorin.

  1. Structure 

Bosco Employability Skill Training & Job Placement

Vazhikaatti is in the phase of rethinking and re-launching at greater heights. By realizing its significant role in the society, ‘Don Bosco Vazhikaatti’ plans to synergize its efforts to make itself more productive and beneficial to the youth of today.  As a venture towards it Vazhikaatti has developed an idea of “Bosco Employability Skill Training” in order to empower the young.

United Kingdom Commission for Employability Skills (UKCES) gives the simplest definition of employability in terms of skills: ‘the skills almost everyone needs to do also most any job’. Employability skills do not stop with academic performance but it goes beyond it, to see how a person is tuned to himself in the sense of: Personally, Psychologically and Sociologically. This is the greater challenge which we face ahead of us.

In order to make our young people to be competent enough to gain these skills ‘Don Bosco Vazhikaatti” has drawn up a package in the name of “Bosco Employability Skill Training” programme for the College Students (UG/PG).

Bosco Employability Skill Training consists of: 

  1. Personal Skills: Personality development and Wellbeing of Wholeness
  2. Social Skills: interpersonal Relationship and Social Skills
  • Employability Skills: Job Acquiring Skills
  1. Creating Job opportunity: Job Placement Drive (only for final year Students) 

The above pattern of the “Bosco Employability Skill Training” programme was designed in order to meet the pressing needs of the students towards developing their employability skills.

In this regard we would like to render our service to your esteemed Institution in creating a job culture among the students.
