My name is Kevin. In the year 2011, my family was planning to migrate to Australia while I was studying 9thstandard. Everything was set and planned but due to unfortunate circumstances the migration didn’t happen. I lost interest in studies and failed in my 10thstandard in the subsequent year. I was disillusioned and had lost sight of my goals. Then my mother enrolled me in St. Joseph’s Community College where I found a new lease of life. NLP taught me what life is and after completing my diploma in St. Josephs Community College, I enrolled for NIOS and completed my 10th and 12th. Now I work in a company called Mentor Mindz as an office administrator and I am also a part time film maker. I am planning to complete my graduation and rediscovered life in SJCC.

My name is Tins Thomas, I come from a small village in Idduki, Kerala I had completed my 12th standard in a government college in Kerala. I then began to look for a job but couldn’t find one as I had no skills to do any job whatsoever. My parish priest at a local church recommended me to join St. Joseph’s community college to learn skills. I had enrolled myself for Diploma in Employable Skills in 2011-12. I completed training in Retail, Hotel Management and Electrical and Electronics, I had a passion for Electronics, so I learnt mobile service and training to the best of my ability. After I completed my course I did an internship with a local mobile service firm and learnt new technologies and updated my skills in this area, I then got a chance to go to Saudi Arabia. There I found employment in “Al Fagath”- A leading mobile company with a salary of Rs.35, 000. Thank you SJCC for skilling me and find meaningful employment.

My name is Ramya; I had joined Community College after repeated failures in my PUC. I had applied for many jobs but due to my lack of communication skills and confidence I was rejected, after joining SJCC in 2014-15 the first thing I gained was confidence. Confidence to believe I can do anything and achieve my goals. In SJCC I learnt HRM, Office Management, Finance and Accounting and CRM. With these key skills I was able to find a job in Oxford International School as an office admin. SJCC has played an important role in shaping my future; currently I have completed my PUC and have enrolled for B.com for better job prospects. One year of my life in SJCC has helped me to take these crucial decisions.

My name is Josephine Rani, I come from a small village in Ooty, Tamilnadu. I am 30 years old. All these years after completing my tenth standard a decade back, I was lost and searching for a job, my relatives made fun of me saying I will not be able to achieve anything in life. I was dejected and didn’t know what to do further. Luckily I came to know about St. Joseph’s Community College and enrolled myself for a diploma program in ITES. SJCC taught me how to communicate in English and from being reluctant speaker, today I am able to confidently face an audience and can speak without fear. After completing my course I found job in Don Bosco as an office admin. Thank you SJCC for giving me the knowledge and removing fear from my life.

My name is Ranjini, I am a student of B.sc from Mount Carmel College. I did not complete my graduation and was at the crossroads not knowing what to do next. Luckily I met Fr.Daniel, Principal of St. Joseph's Commerce College who suggested me to join SJCC. I enrolled for Diploma in ITES (Information Technology Enabled Services). I was introduced to the fascinating world of HR and instantly took a liking for the subject. I decided to become a HR and pursue in this line. All the subjects were new to me, finance, HR and Management, but I seamlessly integrated myself with the help of my lecturers who were always there to guide me. Immediately after my course I got a job as HR Generalist in 247, a leading MNC with a salary of Rs. 17,000 per month. Thank you SJCC for making me a HR and giving a new lease of professional life.

My name is Mahesh; I’m a class tenth dropout, with no ambitions and no will to learn. My parents were very disappointed with my casual attitude towards my studies and tried to reason out with me but of no avail. Then in 2011 they enrolled me in SJCC but I quit midway and I was back to square one again. My parents re-admitted me in 2012 after counseling and this time I had developed a liking to the college because the teachers motivated me in a different manner and didn’t force me in academics. One of the skill courses of mobile repairs fascinated me and instantly took a liking to learn a lot about smart phones. After completing my course I got a job in a Samsung outlet and worked for two years. Recently, I have been appointed as a head sale for Vivo mobiles. SJCC helped me to give a sense of direction to my life and I have not looked back since then.

My name is Naveen. I studied in a government school till 12th standard in Kannada medium. Thereafter due to my family situation I wanted to work. Most of my friends had joined the BPO industry and I also wanted to join the same. I attended many interviews but I was rejected by most of them since I didn’t have the necessary skills to qualify. Then I saw in the newspaper an ad from SJCC about the beginning of a job oriented program in collaboration with 247 in the summer of 2012.I attended the interview in the college and got selected for the training program. After six months of intensive training I was able to acquire good communication skills and my soft skills had considerably improved and I was able to find a job thereafter in a small company. At present I work in IBM as a support engineer drawing a salary of Rs.20000. At SJCC I learnt what it is be confident person. Thank you SJCC for making a confident personality and making me dream big.

My name is Anju. My father is a security guard and taken the trouble to look after me from childhood as a single parent. I had no inclination towards studies and had failed repeatedly in my 10 standard exams. Then my father who at that time was working in St .Josephs Indian Institutions knew about SJCC and got me admitted there in 2012.For a year I stayed in the hostel and attended college. At SJCC the first thing a learnt was to be disciplined which I felt I had not acquired through my life. Being disciplined helped to focus and I was able to learn beautician training which I felt suited me since science and mathematics were making no sense to me. I learnt beautician and was able to support myself by getting a job in a local parlor. Today I work in naturals and earn around 18000 a month to support myself and my father. Thank you SJCC for giving me an occupation.
