Career Meet at TRAMIET under Abhilashi Group

Centre for Sustainable Development(CSD) and iMET Global kick start project ‘LEAD’ (Leadership in Education for Action and Development). Objective of this program is to enhance functional, and to an extent sector- specific, competencies across levels, but also several –soft skills, such as communications skills, presentation skills, stress management and team building skills.
