Need Help Finding a Training Module for Interns Transitioning from Campus to Corporate?

Hi Guys, I am a corporate trainer and I am looking for a PPT or a module on campus to corporate. I need to train a bunch of interns. Can someone share a PPT or a PDF or a module, please? Appreciate your help.

Regards, Joel

If you want to know more about corporate training, find the attachment below as it provides good reference material for your task.

Hi Samir, Thanks for the PowerPoint presentation; however, it focuses on corporate lessons rather than Campus to Corporate training. Nevertheless, I appreciate your effort in sharing reference material. Thanks once again.

As no one has provided you with useful material, I would take the view that it doesn't exist. That being the case, it falls to you as the trainer to research and develop your own material.

The Role of a Trainer

The role of a trainer is an interesting one. In our training, we are taught to be "trainers," i.e., we go and train other people on how to do stuff. That's it. We are not taught to be Soft Skills Trainers or Excel Trainers or Insurance Trainers, etc. Just "trainers."

Many of us do Train the Trainer courses courtesy of an employer who needs us to train staff in a particular thing. So we end up training in a specific field, and more than likely, once we know a topic, we would prefer to continue training in something we know.

But life often throws curveballs, and sometimes we have to move out of a comfort zone and do something different. This is an opportunity for the best trainers to excel. They grab the opportunity and run with it. Just because you haven't done something before doesn't mean you can't do it. Of course, you cannot train in complex subjects that require a very comprehensive background in specialist areas. But when it comes to general training, such as we are discussing here, there is an opportunity.

And don't forget, once you have developed a course to deliver, you may well then be able to sell that training to other institutions if it is generic and not specifically designed for one college.

Developing Effective Training

Many posts here on CiteHR concern me as a lot of people ask for PowerPoint presentations for training. As Skhadir has pointed out, you cannot rely on other people's PowerPoint presentations to deliver a training course. You need to develop training that meets the needs of the group and the organization you are working for.

As I have pointed out in other posts on this subject, training is not standing in front of a class and reading PowerPoint presentations out. That seems to be how it is done in many places. I venture to say that many people would hate my training sessions as I DO NOT USE PowerPoint presentations at all. Come to one of my sessions, and you do the work and you learn.

Finally, let me finish with some words a more experienced trainer once told me: "I'm a Trainer, I Train."

Hey friends,

Transitioning from Campus to Corporate

The discussion going on here is about transitioning from campus to corporate. When we are on campus, we are filled with up-to-date knowledge and eagerness to implement what we have learned in school or college days. However, when we settle in the corporate world, we find that the theoretical knowledge and books that helped us acquire knowledge fail to impart practical understanding.

In the corporate environment, we have to follow a set of procedures, obtain numerous approvals, and make decisions collectively rather than individually. We become immersed in the processes, and if we do not stay updated regularly, our sharp knowledge will eventually become dull. In the corporate world, we risk fading away if we do not learn the email politics, the art of shifting blame, taking credit for our team members' work, and finding scapegoats to blame for our mistakes, among other things.

On campus, you are an innocent lamb; however, after five years in the corporate world, you become a cunning fox.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please settle your disputes outside of this platform, as this platform is for professionals, and none of us are behaving as such.

@Joel - There is something called TNI and TNA that would give you better insight than any resource. I am an HR professional with T&D as one of my strengths. I have been involved in full-time corporate training and have also conducted training in many schools and colleges. Nowadays, the market requires competency-based training rather than just any training. Modules for communication and behavioral skills will be more or less the same; however, you need to customize them according to the audience's level, the duration you have, and of course, the city they are based in. I believe a trainer should be knowledgeable in every aspect of training, not just the delivery part.

Dear Joel, It will be extremely useful for us at CiteHr if you provide more details about your background: qualifications, experience, and where the interns would be employed. I usually advise students who seek questionnaires, articles, etc., to help themselves first by posting some sort of draft of what they would like to include in their presentation and then seek help to improve it.

Sometimes students do not like my Socratic style and go off in a huff. However, upon self-reflection, they do appreciate my style. For example, see the post by Mary Chrsty at https://www.citehr.com/301192-my-mba...#axzz1AO0F84KK. Also, kindly see https://www.citehr.com/114330-campus-corporate.html where I had already posted a link on the topic. It pays to search CiteHr before posting a query.

Have a nice day.

Campus to Corporates

Joe: Start simple, think elementary, take baby steps, and stay focused.

Campus is like a warehouse of raw materials, with some knowledge, knowing something but not knowing what. There is confusion, sometimes aimlessness but ambition as well. They are young, energetic, and resourceful, yet unsure of how to tap into their potential. They are willing to learn and listen, provided the trainer is a searchlight, a motivator who arouses their curiosity. They are like clay, and the trainer, like a potter, molds them into corporate leaders.

You lead them from darkness to daylight by showing and inculcating corporate culture, behavior, etiquette, discipline, communication, team playing, listening, leading, understanding, performing, achieving, and eventually growing.

Wishing you success in becoming an original successful trainer.

Ramaswamy PS
