The impact of globalization on employment in India pervades far and wide as the reforms incorporated since 1991-92 led to the
entry of several key international employers in India and also served to open up various employment avenues.
The outsourcing industry has evolved out of the globalization process as the Indian government relaxed restrictions with regard to foreign
investments and working of foreign companies in India. The reforms attracted the attention of key foreign companies towards the vast
pool of English-speaking and low - cost workforce in India. Foreign companies from different sectors like banking, information technology,
finance, and telecommunication rushed towards India to outsource their work. New industries have entered the Indian economy and have
increased employment opportunities for Indians. They offer a wide variety of jobs to the Indian citizen according to their field of
specialization.
Lack of training for work where young job seekers' inexperience is a disadvantage to the requirement of industries and businesses is a
reality. Employability of graduates is a serious issue and constitutes a major challenge to the Education system, content of the curricula
and applied training. In effect expanding the education system leads to a higher percentage of graduates fulfilling their desire to work at
suitable work opportunities.
We have to remember that a Degree is no guarantee for a Job or for finding the right job. Working and planning towards a career and
not just a job is the key to a satisfied and fulfilled individual. But where does one start? How does one plan?
We at Globarena Technologies have successfully bridged this chasm and come up with solutions to the questions through our Aptitude
Lab.
Every company that seeks new employees screens the aspirants through different stages of recruitment. Each company has its own
procedure and criteria for selection. However all companies have one 'first step' and that is an Aptitude Test. The central purpose of
our Aptitude Lab is to locate, allocate and coordinate key skills that must be completed by the candidate to create and sustain a
competitive advantage. Consequently, the emphasis is placed on locating and identifying relevant material and organizing the resources
that add value and are rare and inimitable, in grooming the perfect candidate. All this is available on a Compact Disc that is uniquely
designed so as to make learning effective and easy. The learning material is so structured that the user learns the key skills on his own
time and at his own convenience.
What is an aptitude Test?
The Aptitude Test is an assessment technique used to establish the worth of an individual from several related measurements and
evaluations to yield comprehensive information about the individual, on which to base employment or career based decisions. This
