Swadhar Career Institute is a unit of Smt. P. N. Doshi Women’s College was established in the year 2004, and is managed by SPRJ Kanyashala Trust whose aim is to enhance and improve women’s education, so as to liberate and empower them.
The conventional degree courses alone are often not enough to guarantee a job to a graduate. Also many women students do not get to do these degree courses because of financial, family and social constraints. Hence a career institute was started to train these students in a particular skill which will give them more opening in industry, service and self-employment sectors which will make them financially self reliant. These career oriented courses were designed to be part-time courses so that students already pursuing a degree course can also take advantage of it simultaneously.
Swadhar Career institute offers part time Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma Courses in various fields. The syllabi for all these courses have been designed carefully, keeping in mind the requirements of the industry. The objective of these courses is to impart necessary skills to the students and make them confident and professionally competitive. All the courses give special emphasis on the practical component which gives the students hands on experience. Students are also taken for industrial or field visits to get realistic insights in their chosen fields.
The institute has tied up with various related industries and corporate houses to provide practical training and internship for the students. Many students get job placements in the firm or organization where they go for their internship.
