​

Current Scenario/Status of Job-oriented Multimedia training in Nepal

As you are now familiar to the main reasons why you should join Swastika  it’s important to understand the current scenario of Job-oriented Multimedia training in Nepal for we have been committed towards improving the existing status of Multimedia training in the country. It’s only in the recent times that the stakeholders have realized the importance of skill-based Multimedia training in the country as a result of their counter experience with the acute shortage of skilled manpower at the times when the projects are raining. Thus, the unavailability of required manpower at the critical times is causing substantial losses to the companies as the projects go unimplemented without a qualified team. Every year thousands of Multimedia graduates come to Nepalese job market which is already highly competitive and there is every chance of you getting rejected given the trend of giving priority to the ones with professional technical skills. And you get those skills along with the bonus ones that keep you one step ahead of your competitors all the time.

​

The Multimedia training in Nepal ranges from basic graphic designing skills training to Webpage Design, Video Editing and 3D Modeling, animation training. As the Multimedia knowledge and skills have potential to provide employment to anyone, the increasing number of training institutes- providing training web designing, multimedia etc. - prove the wider interest of training among the educated and technically aware mass. However, the advanced computer programming training has been in existence from not long time in Nepal. Swastika  tends to solve the following problems being faced by Nepalese training institutes:

• Conventional approach to training hindering innovation and creativity

• Lack of job-oriented training courses

• Lack of experienced instructors/trainers

• Insufficient training materials

• Lack of training on new and updated technologies

• Training in isolation that prevents the trainees from networking and mutual learning

• Lack of post-training facilities such as internship and placement for the deserving one

​

The current status of IT training in Nepal can be reflected by the following conditions prevailing in the recent times:

​

Lack of qualified and experienced instructors:

Since most of the qualified and experienced software, mobile application development experts are engaged in professional development in IT companies there is lack of skilled and qualified instructors that are expert in their respective fields. For example, it is extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable and experienced instructor who could train the students in Android and iOS application development. Therefore, the trainees find a hard time to convince themselves regarding the potential learning and knowledge they could get from the instructors.

​

Lack of career-focused training:

The Multimedia trainees have been feeling that most of the training courses in Nepal are designed on the basis of training institutes’ surficial understanding of the particular subject matter. And it has hindered the career security of most of the trainees as they are struggling to cope with the challenging projects that are assigned by their employer. The lack of career-focused multimedia training has therefore further widened the gap between the multimedia project objectives and employees’ performances.

​

Overlooking necessity of management knowledge :

As the principles of management are being adopted in every sector worldwide in the recent times to ensure effective and efficient project implementation and control, the inability of training institutes to integrate management knowledge apart from core Multimedia training has made the overall multimedia training incomplete and insufficient. This is the reason why most of the multimedia companies in Nepal are struggling with the underperformance of employees in planning, organizing and controlling the project activities.  help reduce management inefficiency of technical professionals in the long run.

​

Dilemma of choosing the right course:

One of the biggest issues related to multimedia training in Nepal is the dilemma the trainees go through while choosing the training course. Most of them are unable to figure out what training fits them the most to pursue desired career. There has been mismatching of training courses and the competency of the trainees. Therefore the training institutes need to facilitate the aspiring trainees to choose the right training course as per their competency, learning ability and career interest.

​

Change in perspective of training:

As the career scope in Multimedia sector is increasing rapidly these days the Multimedia trainings are pursued by not only the Multimedia professionals but also the individuals from non-technical background that are engaged in non-technical jobs. This is an exciting opportunity for all the Multimedia training institutes in Nepal which if capitalized could rapidly increase the training awareness and career prospects in Multimedia sector. This could further increase the supply of skilled manpower in Nepalese Multimedia sector that is struggling with lack of competent and skilled professionals.

​

Quality Training

The term “training” is defined as the “process of bringing a person to an agreed standard of proficiency by practice and instruction”. Besides the initial qualification for the profession; knowledge, skills and competencies has to be acquired, maintained, upgraded and updated. We understand this very concept of training and are always working both harder and smarter for providing updated quality training as per the needs of the clients/students.

​

Our team and faculty members dedicate enough resources; time, effort, money, materials; in order to maintain and upgrade the quality we have created while providing training to the students. Practical project based learning approach, supportive teaching- learning materials/equipment, cooperative environment, effective communication between faculty, students and management, continuous evaluation, sincere attention to the feedback, positive or negative, immediate discussion and implementation of corrective actions, special focus on the overall performance; all enhances our training procedures and techniques.

​

Our continuous effort on providing qualitative training can be reflected in our training system with proper training needs identification, resources assessment, competences' assessment and learning outcomes, training programs design, quality assurance, certification and evaluation. In case of providing certificates also, students are required to attend exams and complete the assigned project. Supportive assistance of the instructor/trainer is available to the students even after the classes or course is over as per the faculty and students’ commitment and interactions. Such eligibility and requirement criteria sets a discipline in student-teacher’s training activities with dedication in achieving the perceived goal of training.

​

With 100% job assurance to the deserving students, Swastika is committed not only to prepare the students on the technical aspects but also in behavioral or personality dimensions. As we provide our students, both fresher’s and experienced, with different career opportunities, our concern is also to help them perform better right from interview to different workplace situations they might face like need of conflict handling, assertive speaking, giving presentations, preparing projects, negotiating, working in team, group discussion etc. In short, we provide soft skill training also as per the need of the students.

So, Practical training, ready to help attitude of faculty and management, soft skills training, comfortable learning environment is equal to Swastika Quality training approach.

​

Events:

We organize regular workshops, brainstorming sessions, focus group discussions, guest lectures and talk programs with the industry experts, professionals, critics, media, private business houses and government officials to identify and analyze the existing problems and opportunities in IT sector. These events give our trainees remarkable opportunity to understand the existing IT environment in various sectors and the ways to continuously capitalize on the IT opportunities for the greater good.

Such events are designed as per the interests and opinions of our trainees so that they don’t miss out on what they want to know and learn about local and global IT environment. We have stories to share with you on how such events have inspired the public and private communities to implement IT infrastructures as a part of their operational reengineering. Also, these events have been serving as a facilitator for start-up aspirants to implement their tech ideas that have capacity to turn into a successful business venture. These events and their course changing impacts are the proof how much we are valued by our invaluable stakeholders.

Further, we also love to serve our society as we believe that social endeavors add value to our life. And this is the reason we don’t hesitate to organize various social events like cleaning campaign, scholarship distribution, free IT trainings to financially incapable students, relief tour to the villages struggling from natural disaster and so on. We wholeheartedly encourage our trainees to participate in social activities and gain real life experience in project management, human resource mobilization, communication skills and other essential management skills in a realistic and a fun way.
