NUML-Professional Development Centre (NPDC)

The NUMLProfessional Development Centre (NPDC) at NUML was established in June 2015; it is a platform to enhance and develop ethical values, thinking ability, analytical skills, creation and construction of knowledge to develop a holistic skillset that is essential to achieve an optimal performance for the organization. The Center closely works with the experienced internal and external faculty members and with seasoned market trainers to bring in a blend of academic insights and real world practices. We at NUML are committed to a continuous improvement and capacity building of our faculty, academicians, professionals, and students in the multiple areas to keep them up-to-date in their relevant fields. PDC offers capacity building programs in two streams, stream- I caters to internal employees and stream-II caters to the professionals from the external market. PDC – NUML offers development programs for SMEs, Public and Corporate Sector executives. We also provide trainings on Social and Environmental aspects of sustainability to staff and students. The centre also works in close collaboration with multiple institutes at national and international level to open broader avenues of training and development for the faculty, students and staff members.

 

 

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

PDC-NUML believes in learning through experience & exposure. We follow wide range of procedures for capacity building like Training Need Assessments (TNA), Training Design, Customized Training Process, Training Follow-ups, Mentorship, Counseling and Coaching, Formal Education, Capacity Building Projects and Networking.

We at NUML value continuous professional development in all areas of teaching, research, and services. In this regard, while drawing a distinction between training and development, the department of Research & Strategic Initiatives – NUML is focused towards creating and facilitating the learners with best possible opportunities.

PDC-NUML believes in co-creation of the learning journey where we work with the client to design an innovative program that is aligned with the needs and goals of the organization to achieve RESULTS THAT MATTER.

Training Workshop on Newly Appointed & Existing HoD's 2024

The training was meant for the newly appointed Heads of the Departments to build their capacity for the new responsibilities. In order to meet the training objectives, the program was designed by assimilating result-oriented strategies. The modules were packed with interactive presentations, exercises, case studies, and relevant tips and techniques to achieve results in their role. Role plays and round-table discussions were also used to provide an opportunity for the participants to share their unique perspective and arrive at the right mindset for scaling the business to the next level. The methodology of ‘Do-review-learn-apply’ served as the key.

 

Faculty Development Program Level - I for Newly Hired & Existing Faculty Members  - 2024

As a capacity development initiative by the top management, NUML has conducted a series of Faculty Development Programs Level-I starting from 2nd to 6th September, 2024 which cater to the new to mid-level audience to equip them with knowledge and skillset that can help them take on the role of teaching in an effective manner. The programs emphasized on areas of knowledge construction and how learning works, university teaching in a contemporary environment, research methodologies, learning management systems, creating social capital, empathy at workplace, conflict resolution, time management, leading trough diversity and many other essential topics. NUML sourced internal and external resource persons based on their experience and expertise to provide learners a platform where they can learn from experts from the corporate market as well as from the field of academia. The program was well received by the participants and they were appreciative of the efforts by NUML management in contributing towards their capacity development as one of the very rare institutions to arrange Development Programs for the existing and newly hired faculty.
