Success or failure – Whom to credit?

Success in life is credited to alma mater. Who shall we credit for failures? That means people seek training to succeed and avoid failure. They seek training that can give them the joy of gaining success. Every success leaves a trail of failures. With every failure there is rate of success. When we eliminate failures in entirety we attain success.

The trail of failures provides us with invaluable lessons. These lessons provide inspiration throughout our life. They prove a resource for facing challenging situation. They instill much needed confidence to overcome hurdles. They enhance our skills in resolving situations.  Language has coined a phrase on failures, “Failure as a stepping stone of success”.

If failures are an opportunity to gain skills, learning and relearning during training by experiencing real life situations is an apt proposition for undergoing a course of training. Such an approach would help early confidence in a learner. The learner is ready to do business with his skills and be at a better position on the negotiation table whether to seek a job or initiate a new endeavor.

A conventional approach to computer training is not anymore sufficient. It could only be a beginning to know about computer and information technology. It cannot be learning about the technology. It could merely be acquiring knowledge about the technology.  It cannot inculcate any know-how about dealing with the technology. The know-how to dealing with technology requires skills. Those skills are what conventional training lag to provide.

One of the best ways to overcome this training lag is to provide and undertake training with a skill-oriented approach. It is a knowledge application training model. It adds a third dimension to training with providing and acquiring knowledge, and undergoing practical sessions and also, getting exposed to real-life situations. Such an approach though time-consuming and requiring special effort, during the process of learning pays off in the long term for the learner.

The learner undergoing training gets to experience scenario of possible failure during the training itself in the process of getting exposed to real-time situations. As she repeats her attempts to succeed by encountering failures, she imbibes her invaluable lessons on turning them into skills. She develops a life-time resource, is capable of facing challenging real life situations, raises her level of confidence and builds her stepping stones to success. She is in a position of an advantage at the negotiating table to seek a job or develop her own business.

DS Learning Academy has adopted a skill-oriented PHP Training model where the learner learns from a professionals working in real-time environment. In approaching the training through this model the academy provides for opportunities for the learner while training to work on live global projects in an outsourcing firm in Ahmedabad to have a firsthand experience. Such a model of training allows the learner to undertake a self-assessment and build skills on their possible failures.
