KARIMNAGAR: For a student in a rural school, the biggest barrier to a promising career may not be a lack of talent, but limited exposure to technology, industry and career-oriented training. Seeking to bridge this gap, MYAKS Academy is planning to launch a skill-focused learning initiative aimed at equipping young students with practical abilities and preparing them for future careers.
Over the past 20 years, academy founder M Mahesh has organised programmes for engineering students focused on employability and preparing them for the requirements of multinational companies. Taking this experience to the school level, the academy has designed the ‘Roots Framework’, an educational model for primary and secondary school students.
The initiative seeks to introduce career-oriented learning early, particularly benefiting students in rural and semi-urban areas who have fewer opportunities to access specialised training, emerging technologies and industry exposure.
The framework is built around three pillars — Advanced Computational Logic; Applied STEM and Hardware-Software Synergy; and Neuro-Cognitive Architecture and Exam Resilience. It aims to strengthen logical reasoning, problem-solving, scientific thinking and students’ confidence in handling academic challenges.
For rural students, early exposure to these skills could broaden their understanding of opportunities in technology, engineering, science and other emerging fields. The programme focuses on moving beyond rote learning and developing practical and analytical abilities needed for higher education and employment.
Speaking to TNIE, Mahesh said the academy’s approach combines technical skills with communication, analytical thinking, soft skills and personal development to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
The academy has also conducted community-oriented educational programmes in government schools in Ramadugu and Mallial to promote scientific temper and personal development. It recently provided free coaching for constable and sub-inspector aspirants in Rajanna-Sircilla district.
Mahesh said these initiatives reflect the academy’s focus on taking quality skill development beyond urban centres and helping students build the confidence, practical abilities and career awareness to pursue their aspirations.
