Job Description
Manager, Vedica Writing and Communication Centre (VWCC)
Vedica Scholars Programme
About Us
Launched in 2015, The Vedica Scholars Programme is a unique 15-month, fully residential, management, and personal growth programme. In leadership positions across the world—be it in the corporate, political, or not-for-profit space—women are a minority. We aim to address this gender disparity through our
multidisciplinary curriculum that is designed to meet the recruiters’ expectations. The programme is a
combination of classroom learning, hands-on work experience, and mentoring from some of the most inspiring academics and professionals of our time.
The Vedica Writing and Communication Centre (VWCC)
The Writing and Communication Centre plays a unique part in Vedica's re-imagination of a management
programme. Since communication skilling is a prominent facet of preparing for today's workplace, all Vedica Scholars are trained to excel in it. The Writing and Communication Centre helps each Scholar gain enough communicative competence to confidently navigate the professional space. The Centre's methods are derived from the newest principles of language teaching and the interdisciplinary humanities.
VWCC equips Scholars with a checklist of basics directly required by recruiters today. Courses and workshops cover topics on organisational communication, journalistic communication, personal communication as well as the 'creative' and 'literary'.
