Tamakkan Youth Leadership Program

Youth Empowerment Program

Research led by Harvard University shows that 85% of job success comes from having well-developed soft skills, while only 15% of success is based on technical skills.

The Youth of today requires soft skills and the right emotional competencies much beyond the academic and vocational qualifications, to be the enlightened citizens of tomorrow. They need to consolidate their self-esteem and self-image besides continuous self-motivation to successfully deal with societal and peer pressure, handling criticism and bullying, facing failure, interpersonal conflicts, goal setting and achievement, and dilemma in making sound choices in a changing environment, to name a few.

Many of the Youth, who aspire to be successful in corporate or entrepreneurship, may face challenges, primary due to the lack of understanding of and behavior expected from them clear and detailed competencies. Leadership and life skills are considerate essential for the young job seekers and the ones who want to be entrepreneurs.
