Group Peer Training
The Group Peer Training Wing of CAPS is dedicated to reaching out to individual audience across the university. An analysis of the academic climate and the requirement of the student population are done, following which the team delivers interactive sessions on a wide range of topics.
The peer trainers are student volunteers who have been recruited for their exceptional skills in communication, collaboration and adaptability. They are then upskilled to deliver training sessions on the diverse academic and professional competencies that are integral to any field.
Some of the most popular session requests include academic topics like Research Skills, APA Formatting, Resume Writing, and professional development topics such as Public Speaking Skills and Appearing for Job Interviews.
One on One Peer Training Wing
The One-on-One Peer Training Wing at CAPS provides students with an opportunity to get an individualized experience on all that CAPS has to offer. It is a space for students to learn new skills at their own pace and comfort.
Just like the topics it deals with; the wing’s functioning is different from a classroom set-up. The trainees are assigned a trainer, based on their requirements, learning pace and style. The team has been vital in enhancing the English-language use of many international students and non-native English speakers within the university.
While maintaining a professional approach, trainers and trainees are encouraged to create a bond that enhances the learning process. It provides a two-way street where the trainees can also share their knowledge and skills and hence break free from the usual student-teacher chemistry.
