A Salesian priest has been training industry professionals in northeastern India.
Father V M Thomas is now busy conducting 19 training programs for the Oil India Ltd company executives.
The two-day programs for 576 in batches of 30 began in July and concludes in November.
Christened Skill Matrix Assessment Retreat and Training or SMART, the program was specially designed as an experiential program, in line with the way the young consume information today.
Speaking to Matters India Father Thomas, former Chancellor of Assam Don Bosco University Guwahati , said: “At the invitation of Oil India, we built a uniquely curated training program that would be delivered to 576 young OIL India employees under 35 years of age. The program helps in identifying leaders of the future and plays a role in succession planning.”
The training was structured as a two-day program with a batch size of approximately 30 each, he said.
The program touched upon four key areas – Self-Awareness, Teamwork, Creativity and Innovation, and Leadership.
“By helping participants get a deep understanding of themselves, they are provided a base to build on and become the best versions of themselves,” Father Thomas said.
