Noida (I-Newswire) February 15, 2013 - WLCI’s ‘Employers Council’ is one-of-its-kind of organization set up by the institute to provide industry-relevant education to its students.

With 13 campuses all over India, the institute has been involved in providing the best professional industry-oriented education under the supervision of the members of the Employers Council.

The Employers Council, as the name hints at, consists of members who are professionals/employersfrom the industry. This elite body comprises of eminent professionals from the industry who are positioned at the senior levels. They are at the helm of important designations in their respective organizations that also represent some of the largest recruiters.These members review the content from time to time and prepare it in such a way that it is in sync with the industry requirements.

WLCI students also get several attractive opportunities to meet and interact with industry professionals’and learn to work in the most efficient way at the workplace. The course content focuses on ability creation rather than on just academic teaching. The content encourages content to focus on different processes and outcomes whether it’s in Business management, Fashion courses or Advertising & Graphic design course.

Some of the eminent members of Employers Council are Mr. Abhishek Mukherjee, Associate Director-Marketing,Mr. Hemant Shah, Executive Director, Times OOH WNS-Marketics Technologies India Pvt.

Presently, there are over 300 members in the organization and new members join on a regular basis.

The purpose of creating this unique body was to equip students to meet the industry requirements in termsof knowledge they gain and the skills they are taught to employ at the workplace. WLCI realized that there’s huge gap between the course content and the industry requirements. It found that what students were learning had little or no relevance to what was required by the employers. In an attempt, to bridge this gap, WLCI established the Employers Council which has redefined professional education and made it completely relevant to the industry requirements. The course content prepared by the Employers council gives students a competitive edge over students of other institutes as they get to study an updated course curriculum.

No other institute offering courses in Business Management, Fashion or Advertising & Graphic design has such a unique organization in place. Thus, WLCI students are far better in terms of knowledge and skills as compared to students of other professional institutes.
