Clad in a black burqa, 20-year-old Zubeena Maryam stretched her 'o's and rolled her 'r's with a perfect American twang along with the rest of her batchmates. A regular at a free personality development programme organized especially for Muslim youth in Delhi, Maryam, like the rest, hopes the programme will help her get a job in a BPO.
"I will appear for a few interviews for a job in a call centre after this programme gets over. I am sure I will make it," Maryam, her face covered and her kohl-lined eyes sparkling with confidence, told IANS at the end of her class.NEF is called the Noble Education Foundation.
Maryam was one of the 450-odd students - including homemakers, school and college students and professionals - who attended the free personality training and communication skill development programme organized by the Noble Education Foundation at the India Islamic Cultural Centre (IICC) here.
An offshoot of a similar programme in Hyderabad that has trained and placed over 1,000 people, mostly Muslim youth, the programme here attracted overwhelming response. Wadood Sajid, one of the organizers of the programme, said the initiative might be aimed at uplifting Muslim youth and providing them with but it didn't refuse admission to students from other communities.
