The 22-week virtual learning engagement will enable participants with digital marketing knowledge as well as mentorship on strategic leadership skills. Avtar will facilitate sessions on career intentionality, the tenets of which are critical to charting sustainable careers. Senior leaders from Google will mentor the cohort, guiding them through experiential segments including case study challenges. The participants will go through sessions on core digital marketing skills and strategies, that will be hosted by senior faculty from ISB.
With digital marketing becoming a focus area in high-growth companies today, DigiPivot enables the diversity edge in the talent pursuits of these companies. With a holistic approach toward skill-building including equipping women with strategic leadership tenets alongside core digital marketing skills, the program empowers women to pivot careers more purposefully.
“Pandemic and now the Great She-cession have left a deep impact on the employability of women not only in India but across the globe. While the Covid-19 Crisis has put a temporary pause on increasing women’s workforce participation in India, it has also presented us with a huge opportunity. When women professionals cut through the career zigzag that often oscillates between careers and families, they need certain skillsets for them to remain intentional in their careers. Only when women professionals are made aware of those skills, transformation happens DigiPivot provides a perfect combination of technical knowledge & strategic upskilling, to enable women to reimagine upskilling and reshape the growth narrative for the country.” said Dr. Saundarya Rajesh, Founder – President of Avtar Group commenting on the launch.
DigiPivot is built on the foundation of an industry-academia partnership. The program has the potential to enhance the employability of women, generating entrepreneurs in large, Tier 2 and 3 cities.
