What is the Finishing School?

The Finishing School on Environmental Management bridges the gap between largely theoretical academic programmes and hands-on work in the field. It helps environmental students as well as professionals experience and achieve the right balance between theory and practice.

Who is the Finishing School intended for?

Students currently studying environmental management and allied areas (e.g.  environmental science, engineering,  architecture, planning, economics) at the post-graduate level. Professionals  currently working  in  the environmental arena looking for updates and a lateral exposure to current topics in environmental management are also ideal candidates.

Why join the Finishing School?

The Finishing School benefits environmental students and professionals by providing an update on their knowledge and skills on a carefully chosen basket of topics from the domain within a very brief time period of 2-4 days. Content planning and delivery is crisp to ensure that participants gain the most mileage during this time. The methodology and offerings are the USPs of this particular initiative from Ekonnect.

What does the Finishing School offer?

The School uses a 'blended' learning methodology. Elements such as lectures, case studies, discussion sessions, role playing interactives, audio-visuals etc. are used.

Besides the experienced core faculty, the School invites resource persons from business organizations, financing institutions and regulatory bodies. Sessions are dedicated to building participants’ capacities on usage of the internet, reviewing environmental reports, working effectively in groups, etc. Career planning, meeting with potential job providers and “achievers” from the Indian environmental management field also form part of the School.

What are the takeaways of the Finishing School?

All participants to the Finishing School are automatically registered at the network at Ekonnect. Here, Dr Modak and the faculty at the Finishing School will continue to serve as mentors and extend the School on a virtual basis for a time period of one month. Moreover, all participants get the benefit of a job-provider feature (where applicable) as well as that of a networking advantage. All participants will receive a DVD of well organized electronic resources and a Certificate of Attendance.
