Sharing her experience, graduate Renuka Angel Tirkey from the Office Management program said, “I am a graduate, but no one was willing to hire me earlier because I had no experience. The financial condition of my family is not good. I came to know about this course from an ex-student who told me the fee was minimal as the Sisters had started it to help needy girls. During the course, I learned Computers, TALLY, Communication Skills, and English. The Sisters and teachers were very supportive. Today, I am working in Billing and Pharmacy at Mercy Hospital. I feel confident and happy that I can now contribute to my family.”

Carmel Community College was started by the Apostolic Carmel Sisters in 2015 with the aim of providing professional training to underprivileged women. Along with Office Management, the college also offers credit courses in Event Management.

Speaking on the occasion, Sr. Steffi A.C., Principal of Sacred Heart Convent School, said, “Seeing these young women grow in confidence has been a pleasure for us. Their courage is admirable. I request organizations in Jamshedpur to come forward and support these women so they can stand on their own feet and help their families. I wish the very best to all the graduating students.”
