Bangalore, July 14, 2009: 24x7 Learning Pvt. Ltd, the premier Talent Lifecycle ManagementSM Company and the employability enhancement company, today announced the launch of   ‘SkillBridge English′.  Designed to train candidates in practical usage of English, the course will cater to college students in tier II and tier III cities, where English skills need to be honed.

As compared to the contemporary form of stuffing the syllabus with heavy English grammar concepts only, SkillBridge English sets itself apart from the existing courses that are available in the country.  Here the main focus is on practical usage in the corporate world.  The candidate learns through visual inputs, activities and repetition, rather than the traditional training methods of emphasizing on textual and theoretical grammar.

Says Karthik K S, CEO and Founder, 24x7 Learning, “Every year millions of graduates pass out from colleges in India.  But only 10% are employable enough to get jobs.  Majority of them are unemployable, or suffer from skill deficiency when it comes to job readiness.  The major part of the skill enhancement or need is to develop good communication skills in English.  SkillBridge English plugs these language gaps and enhances the confidence levels of a candidate either when facing an interview or when communicating in any corporate sector that he is working in.”

The audio visual emphasis of the learning methodology makes SB English an easy-to-follow and attractive solution for those who seek to learn language effortlessly and relate it to day-to-day situations.  SB English is supported with eLearning enabling the process of anytime anywhere learning.
