At Prerna Group, we understand that traditional education often falls short of preparing students for the challenges of the modern workforce. That’s why we’ve developed the Work Integrated Skill-based Higher Education (WISHE) program, an innovative approach that combines theoretical learning with hands-on, practical training. WISHE is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and experience they need to thrive in their chosen careers.

Program Highlights

Systematic Learning

Training at actual work locations enables students to connect with their co-workers and employers, fostering familiarity with workplace culture. This professional orientation includes understanding company hierarchy, dress code, safety practices, industry jargon, productivity expectations, and effective working relationships.

Professional Orientation

Launched in December 2018, the NAPS initiative encourages businesses to engage in apprenticeship training. It offers benefits such as company incentives, CSR advantages, and no statutory obligations, making it a highly efficient way to train skilled manpower without the burden of establishing training infrastructure.

Quick Productivity

In today’s fast-paced work environment, companies want to onboard new employees quickly and efficiently. OJT through WISHE ensures that student-trainees learn and adapt rapidly, making them valuable assets from day one. This quick learning curve helps companies reduce bench time and integrate trainees as needed.

Feedback Driven Growth

Continuous feedback from senior employees during OJT is a key feature of the WISHE program. This guidance from experienced professionals is invaluable for student-trainees, helping them improve their skills and knowledge in real-time.

Learn & Earn

WISHE offers a unique opportunity for students to earn while they learn. The stipend received during on-the-job training or apprenticeship varies by sector, industry, and location, providing financial support and making higher education more accessible to those facing economic constraints.

Employment Readiness

By participating actively in professional activities during OJT, students enhance their employability and often become the first choice for hiring within the industry. Their hands-on experience makes them immediately productive, giving them a significant edge in the job market.
