Location: Khar West, Mumbai Strictly work from office only
The most exciting part about this role: You will influence hiring decisions of managers/startup founders and help them with access to smart & future ready talent from our pool
Our purpose
Formerly known as X Billion Skills Lab, The Smart Fellowship is building an ‘automation-proof’ workforce for bharat. We are rooting for ‘team humans’ by training graduates to start thinking, solving and communicating beyond what a.i can do at work. We want smart fellows to thrive alongside a.i and remain in control, instead of being replaced by it.
What we do
The Smart Fellowship is an in-person workplace simulation where smart fellows master essential soft skills, behavioral skills and cognitive skills which are now ‘must haves’ for entry level jobs across sectors and domains. Skills taught include critical thinking, creative problem solving (jugaad), first principles thinking and emotional intelligence.
What is so unique about us
Instead of a passive learning 1 way experience, each cohort/batch operates like an ‘imaginary company’ and the fellows are core team members. They have to make decisions, solve problems and craft compelling communication. The trainer roleplays as a founder and is a mentor, constructive critique and guide. Through these role play based simulations, fellows master mental models and techniques for how to think, communicate and solve across 100+ generalistic business scenarios. This experience provides a unique edge in placements and growth across roles and sectors.
Impact achieved
Till date, we have enabled 50,000+ learners to gain a unique edge in placements, perform better than the average candidate at work, and build automation-proof careers.
