Mumbai: NIS Academy, an educational initiative of NIS Sparta Ltd. Asia’s leading training, education and learning solutions provider and a Reliance ADA Group company, today launched a unique ‘Programme in Business Skills - PBS’. The programme is aimed at making the students ‘Market Ready’ for fast growing industries such as Finance, Retail and Telecom. PBS has been designed such that besides enhancing business knowledge, it also sharpens - attitude, business skills and habits of the students.

Companies, especially in new age businesses, are dealing with an extremely competitive and ever changing market environment. There is a clear demand among such companies, to recruit ‘Market Ready’ customer facing professionals, who can be productive from day one and can help companies achieve their mission critical sales and servicing goals. The curriculum for PBS has been developed after a study conducted across 19 organisations, involving HR, Sales and Operations professionals.

The study focused on the key criteria used for recruiting candidates for ‘Customer Facing Roles’. The study revealed that these companies emphasize on sound knowledge of Domain, on clear understanding of Business operations and on practical aspects of Customer care. The companies also assess personality traits such as possessing a ‘Go getter’ attitude, demonstrating Customer service orientation, displaying Team work and openness to Learning for qualifying a person as ‘Market Ready’.
