The Career Readiness Program

The Career Readiness Program (CRP) for MBA students is designed to enhance the professional maturity of our graduates.

Career Readiness Program provides a taste of the real-world business environment and equips the participants with essential tools and perspectives to address the employability issues and get participants in driving seat to proactively manage their career progression.
At the heart of it, CRP enables “student-driven” learning by providing perspective and tools across a set of 42 career management topics. Additionally, the program is designed to serve as a connecting thread for the academic curriculum of MBA and leverages the SSU Training and Placement (T&P) services to deliver customized learning experience aligned to the students’ personal career aspirations.

The CRP for SSU is governed by the program governance team comprising of the university Vice-chancellor; Executive Registrar; Dean FMS; Director – Operations; and is led by the CRP Program Director (Sunil Sheoran).

CRP Delivery Approach

CRP delivery is anchored in the “immersion” experience of 1-week every Semester delivered by lead instructor & program director – Sunil Sheoran. Following the immersion experience, the students are equipped to drive their self-paced learning by leveraging :

  • Access to CRP learning portal, which provides access to relevant content along with opportunities of collaborative learning
  • Learning calendar that defines the cadence of student assignments and other learning activities
  • The guidance of the instructor and the CRP coordinator – Dr Richa Baghel, Assistant Professor, FMS, Sri Sri University. Weekly CRP session is conducted by her to monitor and guide the program and projects.
  • Practicing the learnings via projects throughout the MBA program. 

CRP Certificate Requirements

SSU awards the graduation certificate for completion of its Career Readiness Program (CRP). To earn the certificate, the following requirements need to be met:

  • Interested students need to apply for enrollment in the program, and get it approved by the program director. Continuation in the program is contingent upon student performance. Registration in CRP is open to all SSU MBA students.
  • Participation in training workshops for the required CRP courses (CRP I, II, III, IV)
  • Complete the required CRP assignments & projects with “pass” grades. The delivery of an approved industry project will earn the “completion with distinction.”

Program Content

The CRP content comprises of 42 unique but integrated set of topics specially designed for MBA students. At the highest level, the program content is structured in three categories of:
  • Managing yourself
  • Working with others
  • Managing context
