One of the most successful outreach programmes from Freshersworld.com, the Campus ambassador programme is now entering the third phase. Applications are invited from students in colleges across the country preferably in their pre final year of education.
For the uninitiated, the Campus Ambassadors will form the intercessors between the college and Freshersworld.com, also interacting with the Placement Coordinators for placement.
The first and second slot of the CA programme was a major hit with college students and Freshersworld.com selected around 180 Campus Ambassadors. The highly motivated Campus Ambassadors who are leaders of their generation conducted a series of events in colleges relating to placement related preparation. Manu Srikumar, the Marketing Manager of Freshersworld.com travelled to 8 states of the country lecturing about the importance of honing employability related skill sets in students. This time, Freshersworld.com is targeting around 1000 Campus Ambassadors to be selected from all over the country. According to Manu Srikumar who overlooks the campaign, Freshersworld.com is planning to have ambassadors in every single college of the country in the next 3 years.
Freshersworld.com will start taking applications from 15th June 2010 and the end date specified is 15th Aug 2010. As always, the selection procedure is very stringent and the application form includes personal details, college information as well as a few questions to test prospective ambassadors. The questions are very generic and will test the drive and enthusiasm shown by applicants. A recommendation letter from a faculty member is also mandatory. The faculty member will be contacted to ensure that they entry is genuine and that there is no malpractice.
Freshersworld.com CEO, Joby Joseph believes that students in colleges are still very ill equipped about their career search including creating resumes and preparing for tests. The Campus Ambassadors will interact with Freshersworld.com and ensure that all the students are well educated in this regard. For this reason, the Campus Ambassador will be trained to use resources that Freshersworld.com will provide. They will in turn help other students.
The selected Campus Ambassadors will also be held responsible for activities ranging from distribution of Freshersworld.com merchandise to coordinating campus placements. Every CA will have the additional responsibility of conducting 4 events in the academic year. The events range from tech ones to placement related ones. The events have been branded as Igniting Minds, Rendezvous, Brainwreck and Mindbend. In return, Campus Ambassadors will stand to win a lot of prizes and certificates commending their work. The experience of working with Freshersworld.com will also benefit them in their careers. Freshersworld.com will also offer internships to the best CAs. Abhishek Jha, a CA from IIITM Gwalior comments, “Being a CA has not only enhanced my knowledge about careers in different sectors, I also got the golden opportunity to intern at the Freshersworld.com office in Bangalore. The internship was wonderful and everyday was a new challenge. The culture at Freshersworld.com is one of mutual respect and openness and the enthusiasm contagious which makes me go the extra mile”
The Campus Ambassador programme aims to be one of the most biggest student related mass outreach programmes and the strength of the network can really help create a better employable work force in the future. Recruiters looking to hire fresh talent will find it easy to hire through this network and reach out to more students.
