Xylem – Business Proficiency Enhancer module is an offering from the team of Eptitude that aims at making the undergraduate students employable and better trained to face the practical challenges of the business world.
One of the key challenges most students face in their first jobs right after graduation, is acquiring the requisite job skills. During the transition from a student to a working professional, even students from premier institutes need time to gain sector/industry understanding and adjust to the corporate work environment.

Our module, the Business Proficiency Enhancer, is designed to address these gaps and equip students with all the requisite skills needed to effectively assume the role of a business analyst with ease. The module encompasses the following:

• Understanding of business functions
• Industry/Sector overview – Retail, FMCG, Manufacturing, Banking, IT/Service, E-commerce etc.
• Case-based approach to business situations
• Analytical tools and modeling
• Business Communications and Negotiations

The module is structured to enhance practical understanding as each session is supplemented with an exercise that simulates real-world business scenarios. In order to further boost efficacy, the module has been calibrated with timely assessments and individual feedback; and provides ample scope and assistance for continuous improvement.
