 Job Opportunities Animation technology has come a long way since the early days of
hand-drawn cartoons. The techniques used by animators to bring
characters to life have improved dramatically over the years, and
unlike traditional animation, which made its debut in 1906 and
created the illusion of movement through frame-by-frame
manipulation of drawings and illustrations, most animators today
use computers to generate three-dimensional images.

Multimedia alias multiple media as the name suggests is an

enormous field that uses more than one medium of communication.
It is an art that merges text, images, graphics, animation, audio and
video to create virtual magic. Animation is only a component of
multimedia.

Schedule Mentor Should do

Welcome: Short welcome and ask the Mentor to introduce
5 min him/herself.
Provide a brief welcome to the qualification for
the class. Note for Instructor: Throughout this
session, please monitor the session to ensure
nothing inappropriate is being happened.
Icebreaker: Start your session by delivering an icebreaker,
10 min this will enable you and your team to start to
build rapport and create a team presentation
for the tasks ahead.
The icebreaker below should work well at
introductions and encouraging communication,
but feel free to use others if you think they are
more appropriate. It is important to encourage
young people to get to know each other and
build strong team links during the first hour; this
will help to increase their motivation and
communication throughout the sessions.
Introduction & Provide a brief introduction of the qualification
Onboarding: to the class and play the “Onboarding Video or
20mins Presentation”. In your introduction cover the
following:
1. Explanation of the program and structure.
(Kamyab jawan Program)
2. How you will use your communication skills
in your professional life.
3. Key contacts and key information – e.g. role of
teacher, mentor, and SEED. Policies and
procedures (user agreements and “contact us”
section). Everyone to go to the Group Rules tab
at the top of their screen, read out the rules, and
ask everyone to verbally agree.

Ensure that the consequences are clear for using

the platform outside of hours. (9am-8pm)
4. What is up next for the next 2 weeks ahead so
young people know what to expect (see pages
5-7 for an overview of the challenge). Allow
young people to ask any questions about the
session topic.
Team Activity Planning: MENTOR: Explain to the whole team that you will
30 minutes now be planning how to collaborate for the first
and second collaborative Team Activities that
will take place outside of the session. There will
not be another session until the next session so
this step is required because communicating
and making decisions outside of a session
requires a different strategy that must be
agreed upon so that everyone knows what they
are doing for this activity and how.
 “IDENTIFY ENTREPRENEURS”
TEAM ACTIVITY
 “BRAINSTORMING SOCIAL PROBLEMS”
TEAM ACTIVITY”
As a team, collaborate on a creative brainstorm on
social problems in your community. Vote on the areas
you feel most passionate about as a team, then write
down what change you would like to see happen.
Make sure the teams have the opportunity to talk
about how they want to work as a team through
the activities
e.g. when they want to complete the activities,
how to communicate, the role of the project
manager, etc. Make sure you allocate each
 young person a specific week that they are the
project manager for the weekly activities and
make a note of this.
Type up notes for their strategy if this is helpful -
it can be included underneath the Team
Contract.
Session Close: MENTOR: Close the session with the opportunity
5 minutes for anyone to ask any remaining questions.
Instructor:
Facilitate the wrap-up of the session. A quick
reminder
of what is coming up next and when the next
session will be.

SUCCESS STORY

S. No Key Information Detail/Description

1. Self & Family Danyal Saleem, who lives in Mirpur (AJK), is
background an example of how hard work and
perseverance can reap rich rewards when
bidding for projects online.
The graphic designer works exclusively on
an online freelancing platform and has
earned, on average, US$20,000 per month
for the past several months. But this isn’t a
story of overnight success – Danyal has
had to work hard to differentiate himself
and stay true to his goal.

It was a full year later, in May 2017, when

Danyal finally decided to jump in. He
signed up for one of the numerous sites
that connect designers or coders with
people or companies that have small
projects, like designing a logo or building
a website.
He had already started a small business to
help pay for his college education, so he
was nervous and apprehensive about the
decision. “I gave myself two or three
months at most. If I didn’t succeed, then I
would go back to running the business as
it was showing potential,” he says.
If at first, you don’t succeed, try try again
2. How he came on Certification in graphic designing from
board NAVTTC STEPS(NAVTTC partner institute)
Training/ or got
trained through any
other source
3. Post-training activities Danyal’s area of expertise is in graphic
design. In his first month using Fiverr, he
pitched mostly for projects centered
around logo designing. But it wasn’t so
simple. In the first few weeks, he didn’t
hear back from even a single client,
despite pitching for dozens of projects.

“I needed to understand what worked, so

I read blogs, participated in forums, and
analyzed profiles of successful
freelancers. It was an uphill struggle, but I
didn’t want to give up,” he explains.

Danyal says he understands why clients

would be apprehensive giving projects to
untested freelancers. They have
hundreds of options to choose from, he
explains, and to give a project to
someone with no experience requires a
strong leap of faith.

A slow stream of projects started to come

Danyal’s way. Within a few months, he
was landing an average of a hundred
projects every month, with a large
number of repeat clients. He also
expanded the range of his professional
services, branching out from logo design
to business cards, banners, Facebook
cover pages, letterheads, and stationery.

But he’s had to face his fair share of

challenges too. The shoddy state of
internet infrastructure in his city, Mirpur,
threatened to derail his freelancing career.
“Sometimes I haven’t had connectivity for
two days straight,” he explains. “That’s
unthinkable for someone who makes his
livelihood on the internet.”
4. Message to others Take the training opportunity seriously
Impose self-discipline and ensure
(under training) regularity
Make Hard work pays in the end so be
always ready for the same.

Note: Success story is a source of motivation for the trainees and can be
presented in several ways/forms in a NAVTTC skill development course as
under: -
1. To call a passed out successful trainee of the institute. He will
narrate his success story to the trainees in his own words and
meet trainees as well.
2. To see and listen to a recorded video/clip (5 to 7 minutes) showing a
successful trainee Audio-video recording that has to cover the above-
mentioned points.*
3. The teacher displays the picture of a successful trainee (name,
trade, institute, organization, job, earning, etc) and narrates his/her
story in the teacher’s own motivational words.
