There are careers beyond just the
traditional ones.
DNA Academy meets Subhash Motwani to tell you more about
vocational courses. |

Think non-traditional careers and you hit on
RBCS. RBCS , an acronym for Radio Bhuvan Career
Supermarket is a fifty year old organisation
offering vocational courses. It's the brain
child of Shyam Motwani, who felt that students
need something more than the regular education
to prepare them for the job market. Now, his son
Subhash Motwani holds the reins of the
organisation where they use a new method called
"Power Learning". Power Learning simplifies the
learning process by one sixteenth and RBCS
claims with this, once can learn a foreign
language in 15 hours. |

The idea behind naming the
organisation 'career supermarket' is that most education
institutions treat courses as products and try to sell their
courses to you, feesl Subhash Motwani. They want to achieve
profits and don't care whether you have the aptitude for a
course or not. At career supermarket, you have a number of
options to choose from and the faculty's guidance. |

Most students get into
traditional courses due to herd mentality and later discover
that they don't have an aptitude for it. Changing your field
totally after a certain level, becomes an expensive
proposition. RBCS advises students to take up part-time jobs
even while at college so they can start funding at least
part of their education.
RBCS believes that pursuing a short terms courses alongside
graduation will hold the students in a better stead. |

Our country is churning out
engineering graduates by the dozen and many are unemployed
or underemployed. Vocational courses are cheaper and though
they start off a lower salary level, the growth is immense.
Subhash Motwani informs that today, some of his students
earn as much as IIT or IIM graduates. However it is
important to be wary of bogus institutes which make tall
claims. Students should check the institutes' background
before joining and verify all the claims that the
organisation makes. |

Motwani warns students about the
education scam - as he calls the situation today. Many
institutes have come up in the last few years and there are
no regulations to check whether these institutes are
certified or standardised at all. One should be wary of
phony institutes which claim to be associated with
international brands. |
