L.E.A.P. is a training academy that aims to help launch students from the campus into a career by enabling them with a critical set of skills and the attitude of a workplace professional and train and mentor aspirants for career with the Indian civil services.
School and College campuses can serve as significant formative grounds that shape the outlook of students and help them to seamlessly integrate into a work environment. It is evident that the roles that students play in campuses are small stepping stones that equip them to take on bigger responsibilities in organizations. Unfortunately, not all students can effectively leverage available opportunities and not all campuses can create them.
LEAP was conceived with a vision to help create opportunities for students, regardless of their backgrounds. Through LEAP, we envisage that students who might not otherwise have had access to choice developmental inputs or employability skills, will receive them, and thrive.
We bring together trainers, academicians, civil servants, industry leaders and professionals from a diverse set of institutions and several decades of experience, to train and mentor our students and enable them with the skills they need to excel in their careers.
With training and mentoring sessions conducted offline and online, we are able to channel the expertise of professionals from different parts of the world into easily consumable digital modules that our students can access any time.
For the aspiring young student, on the threshold of increasingly competitive business, social and political environments, the challenge to be noticed is not a small one. Rapidly evolving organizations and institutions, require dynamic individuals with the attitude and the ability to think on their feet, master new skills and adapt under uncertainty.
LEAP provides the ideal platform for students to Learn transformational life skills, Equip themselves with tools to transition from campuses to careers, Aspire to purposeful roles, and Progress through holistic developmental inputs.
Focused initiatives like LEAP IAS, the flagship program under the LEAP banner, exclusively train and mentor aspirants for careers with the Indian Civil Services.
The role of a teacher has traditionally been viewed as one that imparts knowledge and information of various kinds to learners under their charge.
My view is that educators have a lot more to offer. They paint perspectives, seed desires and create opportunities for learners to construct their careers with purpose and passion. In my experience as an educator for close to 4 decades, I have seen a pressing need that students have, to acquire skills needed to chart the transition from schools and colleges, to being productive members of society.
Having donned the roles of a Professor, Warden, Vice Principal and later as the Principal of Wilson College in Mumbai, I have had multiple vantage points to observe the needs of students across a spectrum of settings. It helped me create programs and modules for employability skills for our students and connect them to corporates and professional organizations, in this period. The learning opportunities we were able to create for visually challenged students in particular, convinced me of the power of equalizers.
I see LEAP as an equalizing platform. Any student with a dream, regardless of their background, should be able to learn, equip themselves, aspire and progress to a career of their choice, be it in a corporate, an NGO or the Civil Services. We try to create those opportunities through skilling, training and mentoring.
I encourage you, dear student, to dream big, and take a LEAP.
