Tagline: “Skills Beyond Knowledge: Building Tomorrow’s Professionals”

Pune, Maharashtra | October 6, 2025 – Shivaneri Institute of Vocational Education, a pioneering initiative of the Shivaneri Knowledge Foundation, today announced the launch of its Soft Skills and Professional Development Programs, designed to enhance workplace readiness and career growth for students. These programs complement Shivaneri’s Certificate, Diploma, and PG Diploma offerings, ensuring graduates possess not only technical skills but also critical professional competencies that are essential for success in India and global workplaces.

Addressing the Professional Skills Gap

While India produces over 1.2 crore graduates annually, many face challenges in securing employment due to a lack of soft skills, professional etiquette, and workplace adaptability. Employers increasingly emphasize communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership abilities, which are often not covered in traditional academic programs.

Shivaneri’s Soft Skills and Professional Development Programs aim to bridge this gap, preparing students to excel in professional environments, both domestically and internationally.

“Employers hire for skills and competence, but they retain employees for professionalism, communication, and adaptability. Our programs ensure students graduate holistically ready for the workplace,” said [Founder/Spokesperson Name], [Designation].

Program Structure and Key Features

The programs are integrated with Shivaneri’s vocational courses, providing students with a balanced skill set that combines technical knowledge with professional competencies. Key features include:

Communication Skills Training
Students develop verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills essential for professional success. Training covers presentation skills, email etiquette, client communication, and business writing.

Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking
