Cognitio hand-picks high potential engineering & undergraduate students, train them in an extremely thorough and careful way and makes them industry ready. Recruiters get to hire trained talent at zero cost, in addition to saving their training cost & effort.
Cognitio LaunchPad is a 12 Weeks, online, rigorous program and 4 weeks of capstone projects. “Along with this rigorous training we blend the peoples training, that makes the high potential engineering & undergrad students’ industry ready in all ways.” said Mrs. Tanushree Nayak, Chief Operating Officer (COO) & Head of Product Development.
As the LaunchPad concept goes, Cognitio select, train & invest in high potential technical & Non-tech undergraduates to kick-start their career. As a recruiter organizations, can see them in action as an intern before hiring them and making them final offer. Recruiter pay nothing for Hiring. Cognitio LaunchPad, is both beneficial for both recruiters & students. As a Recruiter, it’s hard to develop a pipeline with high potential entry-level talent in technical space who can, structure problems to figuring out root causes, work effectively with newest tools and come up with best solutions, generate & analyse issues and iteratively deliver better solutions, communicate well with internal & external stakeholders, demonstrate potential & capability to support a steep growth curve.
For students educational institutions deliver mediocre outcomes with outdated syllabus & faculty possessing little and recent industry experience, candidates from non tier – 1 institutions, end up having to fend for themselves, in terms of both learning & placements.
“We have recruited LaunchPad series students from Cognitio, they are technically sound and are quite good with professional skills. They are critical thinkers & collaborators. We found them quite capable of doing teamwork and pursuing timelines. As a corporate these matter to us most and the candidates from Cognitio are having all these qualities” said Sakshi Dyama, HR Lead “I would value a LaunchPad candidate of Cognitio, equivalent to candidates having 1.5 years of experience” she added.
