IEI aims to focus and promote industrial exposure along with academic curriculum rather than completely spending the first few crucial years only in classrooms. This gives opportunities to career aspirants to experiment on the skill set of their interest by working on real projects, case studies and assignments which also includes exposure on professional skills like communication, problem-solving, teamwork, time management and other dynamics of the organization.
Following are the existing facts which led to the formation of IEI:
i. Most of the undergraduate and post graduate institutes and colleges are far away from vicinity and reach of industries for real exposure.
ii. Institutes and colleges are mostly classroom based and lacking in grooming the career aspirants to meet the real world expectations.
iii. Most of the online based educations are far reach for students at towns and villages in terms of affordability and accessibility.
iv. Promoting entrepreneurship based education models.
v. Lack of skilled teachers and professors in small towns and cities.
To reshape the education and course curriculum from classroom culture to real industry based exposure not only from the perspective of skill based training but overall nurturing as a professional like communication, team building, time management and so on.
‘Course’ is learning the concept. ‘Exposure’ is applying the concept.
Unlike many certifications or theoretical courses, IEI focuses on honing crucial soft skills—communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and time management—in a professional setting. Through real projects, case studies, and assignments, participants not only understand concepts but also learn to navigate challenges, collaborate effectively, and manage time efficiently, preparing them holistically for the demands of the corporate world.
IEI distinguishes itself by blending practical application, skill refinement, adaptability, and industry integration, providing a unique and comprehensive learning experience that bridges the gap between academia and the professional world.
We focus on providing almost complete concept of chosen skill set rather than covering a part of it in a short duration of ‘internship’ platform unless the skill set area is narrow.
i. We are mainly focusing on ‘industry’ certification rather than ‘course’ certification which means completely gaining the knowledge through real work environment by working in industry on selected skill sets.
ii. Our certificate will have equal involvement on evaluation by industry rather than we deciding ourselves who need to be certified.
iii. Industry will have leverage to offer candidates not on interview basis but on evaluation basis.
iv. Industry certification through IEI will be more preferable than course certification as this will signify the application of knowledge in real work environment.
