The Business Challenge
The client hired Graduate Engineering Trainees (GETs) from rural South India — bright, ambitious, and energetic. But once the Campus-to-Corporate program ended, it became clear:
They needed far more than technical knowledge to survive a high-pressure manufacturing environment.
They struggled with:
- Navigating intense plant schedules
- Managing instructions from multiple stakeholders
- Handling conflict and peer competition
- Adjusting to corporate expectations and workplace discipline
How do you turn fresh campus graduates into confident, resilient, plant-ready professionals — sustainably?

Skalent INDIA’s Approach
Skalent refused a routine training approach.
Instead, the team engineered a one-year Capability Development Journey, anchored on:
- Purpose-driven learning design
- Local-language facilitation to build trust and comfort
- Context-rich simulations based on real plant incidents
- Incremental learning aligned with career stages
- Continuous mentorship beyond the classroom
Each 2-day workshop (every 20 days) became a space for reflection, practice, and real behavioral adoption.
What does a deeply personalized capability journey look like — from design to execution?

The Journey
The program was intentionally created as a developmental journey, not a workshop series.
Participants moved through:
- In-class role plays and case studies grounded in factory realities
- Open-area discussions for emotional expression and confidence building
- Learning circles with guided debriefs
- Actionable workplace projects between sessions
- A dedicated trainer who mentored them for the entire year, even outside classroom time
The journey culminated in a grand closure at a beach resort, symbolising the organisation’s belief in each trainee’s potential.
