Shastri Short-Term Virtual Course (SSTVC) 2022-23

SICI is working on short-term certificate courses in collaboration with its member institutions and non-member institutions in Canada / India. These online courses could range from 15 to 30 lectures spaced out over 15 days to 90 days, depending on the course type and the number of sessions per week.

Necessary communication is underway with member institutions in India/or Canada to devise the modalities of the course based on niche areas. SICI does not have the academic expertise to prepare for such online courses, however, it is inviting faculty members from its member institutions to devise content curriculum and delivery.

SICI would be responsible for the communication, promotion and administration (video conferencing, recording, etc.) of the online course to convene online sessions. Furthermore, as subject specialists, faculty members from member institutions will develop the course curriculum for virtual courses and deliver the lectures.

For the purpose mentioned above, senior administrators/subject experts from member institutions in India / Canada will be contacted to understand the basics of the online courses and will float virtual courses on a theme which is most relevant in the present era and can help the students in upscaling skills in their domain.

Scope

The short-term course can be based on relevance, which plays a significant role in scaling up a career to the next level. A few best courses such as retail management, inventory control, the infrastructure of logistics, health and safety, labour relations, recruitment, Interview psychology, strategy analysis, Cyber Security, Smart Green Technologies and Small-Scale Nuclear Reactor Generators, digital humanities, communicative French etc. are quite popular among students, researchers and young faculty.
