FAQ's - The Learning Catalyst

Will I get 100% placement ?

In our humble opinion, this is an outdated question.

As a candidate, you should rather be asking – “Will I get a committed and specialist support to be placed in the top digital companies and top digital profiles?”. 100% placement has been a gimmick in the education industry which has resulted in a lot of dissatisfaction and a bad name to the placement services category.

And coming back to the question btw, the digital industry is growing by leaps and bounds. And it is a widely known fact that there is a dearth of talent across levels. So mere placement is not the issue, the RIGHT kind of profiles and the RIGHT kind of companies is important. And as a specialist, we understand this difference

What is the duration of the program ?

From our experience it takes 3 months for people to get the right placement. But it could be less also and it depends on a host of factors like the current digital awareness of the candidate.

What do you mean by on the job learning ?

Initially the mentor would assign you specific activities to do to test your practical understanding of the topics. The feedback provided by the mentor would be one key element of ‘on-the-job’ learning.

Next During your live project and internship the mentor would monitor your progress and the tasks performed by you. This feedback would be the second key element of the ‘on-the-job’ learning.
