The Structuring Creativity Foundation leverages the principles and framework of Stanford University's Life Design Program and provides Life and Career Coaching for college students, recent college graduates and mid-career professionals looking to create a rewarding life and a fulfilling career.
The Foundation also offers induction programs to Universities enabling students to kick-off their academic journeys with a plan, vision and confidence.
Students and Professionals are empowered to create a blueprint of options of lives they want to lead and are guided to choose wisely.
Why Structuring Creativity Foundation?
Data says that the number of students entering the job market is fairly enormous, but the bottom line is, most are not employable.
- 3.5+ crore graduate every year in India (AISHE by MHRD Report)
- 15 lakh post graduate degrees are awarded every year
- Nasscom says only 25% of graduates working in IT are readily employable, while it is roughly 15% for back-office jobs.
- Consulting firm 'Aspiring Minds' says merely 4.22% of engineering graduates are employable in product companies and only 17% in IT services.
For most, education is a means to get a good job. But sometimes, just learning what is taught in colleges is not enough to succeed at a career or life. There is a need to form a vision and a plan, learn attitudes and behavior which will enable these individuals to find fulfilment in thelr lives and set forth on a rewarding career.
What is the objective of the Structuring Creativity Foundation?
In countries like India, creativity is killed in favour of acquiring skills which would enable an individual to become employable. Being productive is valued more than being creative - the lines of code the employee writes or the number of test scripts he runs is valued more than any other insight he provides.
Creativity is not like a tap which can be opened at will to let the 'creative juices' out. Creativity requires the right attitude, mindset and intent. Creativity in different areas, like many other skills can be learnt, practiced and improved.
The desired outcome of our efforts is to enable participants to design a blueprint of options of how they could create lives they want to lead, help them choose wisely and prepare them for a fulfilling career and a rewarding life.

“The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out Who You Are, but seek to determine Who You Want to Be.” -Neale Donald Walsh
