A recruiter who has hired from the same programme for three years running offers a useful starting point. Zoya Brar, CEO and Co-Founder of Core Diagnostics, is quoted on the Vedica Scholars Programme’s Placement Support page: “We have been hiring from Vedica for three years now.” One testimonial can’t explain why every recruiter returns, but it raises a fair question: what do recruiters meet when they arrive? The place to start is a career support programme that, according to the Placement Support page, begins early rather than at the end.
A Career Support Programme That Starts Early
The Placement Support page says preparation starts early. Scholars receive guided training in:
- CV preparation
- Mock interviews
- Group discussion practice
- Communication
- Problem-solving
- Career decision-making
This is the placement support the page describes as structured and supportive, designed to help Scholars find roles that match their ambition, strengths and long-term goals.
How Recruiters Meet Scholars
Placements begin with pre-placement talks, in which organisations share what they do, the roles they offer and what they look for. This helps Scholars understand fit before they decide where to apply.
Scholars then submit Expressions of Interest for the companies they resonate with. Recruiters conduct interviews, case rounds, assignments or technical tests, depending on the role. The Career Development Committee and Programme Team work with every Scholar through each stage. Put simply, recruiters meet Scholars who have chosen to apply to them.
What Industry Mentors Add
The Placement Support page describes their role in a single line: industry experts and mentors help Scholars sharpen their professional presence. The homepage separately lists mentorship from more than 150 accomplished women leaders among the strengths of the Vedica Scholars Programme. Neither page describes how individual Scholars work with particular mentors.
A Range of Graduate Career Opportunities
The Placement Support page lists the roles Scholars are hired for, including analysts, consultants, brand managers, business development managers, HR managers and management trainees.
That range fits how the Vedica Scholars Programme describes itself. It offers no specialisations and builds well-rounded leaders through management, communication, liberal arts and personal growth. That breadth is part of the design, though the page doesn’t link it to any recruiter’s decision to return.
