Most of us have grown up learning the proverb that 'slow and steady wins the race'. For decades, we have lived by that formula. As a result, we're still a developing nation and we've been saying this for close to seven decades now. Have we ever analyzed why we're still playing catch-up when we should have been setting the trend? The answer lies in our mindset which is reflected in our skills.

We've never raised the bar as a collective consciousness and thus we're faced with the grim reality that not more than 17% of our graduates are actually employable although their education tells a different story. Let's face the fact: our education system may make us eligible for employment, but certainly falls short in enhancing ones Employability quotient. The Japanese are the perfect example of a nation that has turned things around based on the efficiency and effectiveness of their society. It’s time we turned things around if we must stay competitive and shed the old concept for the new one by believing that 'slow and steady never wins any race'.

There is a story of a child walking along the seashore where hundreds of star fish lay stranded. She began picking them up and tossing them back into the sea when a person walked up to her and told her that there were too many fish to be saved and that she wouldn't be able to make a difference. Without batting an eyelid, the little girl continued what she was doing and replied with a smile that she did make a difference to a few by giving them another opportunity at life.

We at Maestro fully realize the magnitude of the task at hand when it comes to enhancing the Employability quotient of the vast multitude of graduates in India. However, we’re up to the task and we're here to make that essential difference just like the little girl who believed in creating opportunities for others. Come join us in making a positive difference by bridging the gap between Eligibility and Employability.
