Job DescriptionHead – Industry Readiness & Employability Location: Chennai Experience: 8+ years Building Industry-Ready Engineers — Not Just Training Programs The gap between what engineering graduates learn and what industry expects from them is widely recognised. We are therefore building a high-impact, in-house Industry Readiness & Employability program for our engineering students — one that goes beyond conventional placement training. We have a dedicated team of technical and communication-skills trainers. We are looking for a Head – Industry Readiness & Employability who can design, lead and continuously improve this program, with explicit accountability for student competency, employability and ultimately placement outcomes. This is not a conventional training or operations role. What You Will Do You will own the complete student industry-readiness journey: - Understand changing industry and employer expectations and translate them into relevant student competencies. - Design a structured, multi-year industry-readiness framework covering technical skills, communication,



problem solving, professional skills, AI/digital fluency, projects and interview readiness. - Lead and develop a team of technical and communication-skills trainers. - Create a culture of continuous student learning, practice and accountability. - Establish assessments and competency benchmarks to measure whether students are actually learning and improving. - Identify students who are falling behind and drive targeted interventions and remediation. - Develop role- and industry-specific readiness pathways for different engineering disciplines and career aspirations. - Build strong feedback loops with recruiters, hiring managers, industry professionals and alumni. - Work closely with the Placement/Industry Relations team to connect student preparation with actual recruitment requirements. - Continuously use student and placement data to improve the program.
