Unique Work & Learn Program
Lloyd Business School offers a unique Work & Learn Programme, which provides On-Job-Training for educating our students to imbibe them with the right skills, knowledge, and competencies required to succeed within a corporate set-up. During this Programme, also called WLP, students get ‘hands-on’ learning experience in a professional environment, wherein they learn to successfully apply the acquired knowledge and skills. Through our MoU partners Manpower Group, we have successfully provided WLPs to students of PGDM-HRM from previous batches, where meritorious students were offered a paid WLP.
During the first two trimesters, the curriculum is designed to expose students to basic managerial principles and concepts. They are given a fundamental understanding of an organization’s functional areas such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resources Management, International Business and Financial Management through the 'core courses'. These lay the foundation for all the functional areas of management that help develop an awareness of the Business Environment and its aspects. From the third trimester onwards, students have the options of choosing Minor electives and start building their knowledge of the specialization areas. An indicative list of electives is given below:

During the Internships, students are placed in organizations by the Corporate Connect, for a
period of about 8-10 weeks, after the third trimester. Under the guidance of Project Guides from
the Industry and with help from Faculty Mentors, students are expected to submit a report on the
given assignment detailing their learning and its linkages with management education.
For
Meritorious students, Summer Internship may develop as an opportunity for a Paid WLP. Students
of PGDM-HRM are placed Pan India for Summer Internship by the Corporate Connect.
The Fourth trimester is a mix of core and electives courses which adds further specialized
knowledge to the basic principles taught in previous trimesters.
By the end of the fourth
trimester, the foundation is laid for the six months of On-Job-Training at Manpower.
