Non-conventional career options in Lucknow
The Rachnoutsav Events Academy, the first of its kind academy in South Asia, is preparing to offer an integrated full-time learning programme in event management and wedding planning in Lucknow.
Addressing a press conference here on Friday, Mr Sanjay Kankaria, director of Rachnoutsav Events Academy, said that time had come for the youth to opt for unconventional career opportunities like event management and wedding planning.
The academy is floated by Hyderabad-based Rachnoutsav Events that has over a decade of experience in the field in handling events of clients such Google, Microsoft, Airtel, Godrej, Motorola, Novar-tis, Femina, State Bank of India, Ramky, Toyota, SAB Miller, Suzuki, Apollo Hospitals, GE Money, JK Tyres and others.
Before its formal launch, the academy has already accorded ABIA — Africa Bridal Industry Accreditation. A South African Wedding Planning School has approached Rachnoutsav Events Academy for a possible tie-up to share their experience in handling Indian weddings as well as to train students in Indian wedding planning since there is a huge demand for Indian weddings in South Africa.
Mr Sanjay Kankaria said that academy will initially offer three courses in event management and one in wedding planning. These include basic professional foundation course in event management (BPFCEM), advance masters course in event management (AMCEM) and advanced masters course in wedding planning and designing (AMCWP). These two courses are of 12 months duration each and applicants need to qualify class 12 examination before they become eligible for admission.
Rachnoutsav will set up five new training centres in next five years and will have 10 centres under franchisee arrangement.
These centres will come up at Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Nagpur, Vizag, Pune, Bengaluru and other places. Since there is no structured course curriculum readily available, Rachnoutsav Events Academy with the help of the industry experts and on the guidelines of Instruction Lead Training System is creating new modules.
Mr Sanjay Kankaria added that basic professional foundation course in event management is aimed at producing event management professionals for employment in the event management industry and related sectors.
