Managers and Executives of modern day organizations need to continuously hone their skills and upgrade their business acumen, to stay abreast of industry trends and leverage upon emerging opportunities. To instill these employability skills, GSFC University has established the Management Development Centre which is an independent vertical of GSFC University & is mandated to provide technical & training related support to the industry in Gujarat by leveraging the strength of GSFC University.

The centre offers training programmes for executive trainees/graduate engineer trainees & management trainees employed by any industry undertaking, business related programmes for the potential young entrepreneurs, tailor-made programmes catering to the industrial needs & skill based programmes for budding young aspirant searching for industrial jobs.

  • A customized curriculum is designed specific to the industry.
Tailor-made programs for the working professionals:
  • We do exhaustive market research to arrive at specific theme of the training programs that is tailor-made for the focused group.
  • The uniqueness about our tailor-made programs is the comprehensive training needs assessment (TNA). This is done through a structured discussion with few prospective participants, their immediate supervisors, management persons and immediate reporters.
  • These tailor-made programs are generally of short duration (3 to 5 Days) delivered by eminent speakers of that field.
  • One such program on ‘Basics in Finance for Non-Finance Executives’ have been conducted and it was acclaimed a lot by participants and their management. Brief glimpses of this program are given hereby:
  • Total of 37 senior level executives from GSFC, ONGC Petrol Additions Limited, Suyog Electricals, Gujarat State CSR Authority & IOCL (decision makers) benefited from this program.

Scientist of Department of Atomic Energy, GOI & Dr. Anil Bhardwaj, Former GM & Head of Material & Corrosion Section at Institute of Engineering & Ocean Technology, ONGC, Mumbai.
Business related training programs for potential young entrepreneurs
  • A swiftly evolving business landscape requires an equally dynamic workforce. One- dimensional skill sets are no longer the norm, and increasingly not an option. To fulfill the need, MDC will conceptualize training programs in areas like communication, critical thinking, finance, leadership, negotiation and problem- solving on need basis.
Foreign Language Courses
  • Certificate Courses on French, German, English etc.

PC can be from within MDC, faculty from academic wing, or inducted from outside for that specified training program. Efficient, timely and within budget delivery of program is the responsibility of PC including the development of curriculum, delivery tools, field sessions, assignments etc.
