Equipping students with essential employability skills, Sleepwell Foundation organised Resume Writing Skills Workshops at SDC, Khurja, on 16th April 2026 for 108 trainees from Paramedical, Beautician, and AFT courses. The capacity-building sessions aimed to introduce students to the fundamentals of resume writing, workplace communication, and professional self-presentation. Through bilingual Hindi-English explanations, students learned about resume structure, cover letters, formatting, use of action words, and presenting their strengths effectively. Interactive discussions and practical examples helped participants understand industry expectations and the importance of clear, honest, and organised communication. Facilitators observed that many students had limited exposure to formal writing and initially lacked confidence in expressing themselves. However, with guided support and simplified learning methods, students gradually became more comfortable identifying their skills and creating job-ready resumes. The workshops successfully created awareness about professional documentation and laid a strong foundation for future employability and career readiness among participants.
