About us: Kraftshala is India’s largest higher-education institution in terms of marketing placements, with a 94% placement rate across ~3,000 candidates, and we are gunning to become the world’s largest career launchpad, across domains.
We’re backed by a number of eminent investors including ex-unicorn startup founders and CXOs of global giants like RedBus, NoBroker, Nestlé, and Performics.
The detailed version:
At Kraftshala, we run Behavioral Skills (aka Human Skills) training to help students - from freshers to experienced professionals - discover themselves, uncover their personal stories, and build the confidence and skills needed to crack CVs and interviews.
As a Human Skills Trainer, your mission is to ensure every student not only learns but also secures the opportunities they are preparing for. You’ll be guiding them in understanding who they are, what they bring to the table, and how to communicate that story effectively in the job market.
Your success in this role will be measured by four things:
-
Placement Percentage Rate (Primary Metric): Driving outcomes through a cutting-edge curriculum, real projects, and smart use of placement analytics.
-
Internship-to-PPO Conversion: Equipping students with the skills and mindset to excel in their internships and successfully convert them into Pre-Placement Offers (PPOs).
-
Student NPS (Happiness & Engagement): Creating lively, interactive experiences that keep energy high and students genuinely enjoying the process.
-
Assessment - Placement Correlation: Designing and refining evaluations that accurately predict job-market success.
If you’re passionate about helping young adults grow, thrive, and launch their careers, this is as close to a dream role as it gets.
Specific responsibilities will include:
Training (~80% of your time)
Content Development - You’ll be working together with your team lead to create content that is aligned to the in-house curriculum and frameworks; at the core of which lies an understanding how recruitment and selection works to a smaller extent, and the cognitive and emotional needs of different adult learners to a larger extent.

-
Building self-awareness

Producing high quality work products

Communicating openly, honestly and with empathy
