Let us now look at what our customers - leaders at colleges and students, have to say about quality and efficacy of our Placement PREP Program
We collaborated with Skill promise to impart employment readiness training to our 1st-year students for their summer internship program and 2nd Year students who were to be graduated in the year 2022 for their final placements.

Throughout my MBA stint and also prior to that, I have often leveraged the content on Skillpromise platform for preparation at different stages. Though all the sections have been hugely beneficial for me, based on my interest and aspirations. Two segments from which I have personally benefitted a lot from are those of Guesstimates and Cast Study Analysis. Anyone pursuing a career in Consulting would know that there are plenty of resources on the internet which teach us about Consulting frameworks and methodologies. But what is really important while solving case studies or guesstimate questions during an interview is how well you break down the given problem into smaller bits to reach a solution and how you structure the approach and this is what Skillpromise has helped me a lot with.

I am really grateful to Skillpromis
