1. Part A: Employability Skills
Communication skills · Self-management skills · ICT skills · Entrepreneurial skills · Green skills
- Communication Skills: How to Share Meaning Clearly and Kindly – Communication is sharing meaning between people. A sender encodes an idea into a message, sends it through a channel, and a receiver decodes it and gives feedback. Barriers such as noise, hard words, strong emotions and cultural differences can block or bend the message. We send meaning with words (verbal), with face, eyes, gestures, posture and tone (non-verbal), and with pictures (visual). Active listening — attention, patience, questions and paraphrasing — proves the message arrived. Good communicators adapt to context: formal or informal, spoken or written, and use polite requests, kind refusals, sincere apologies and assertive (not aggressive or passive) language.
- Self-Management: Taking Charge of Your Feelings, Goals and Time – Self-management is the skill of guiding your own feelings, thoughts and actions so you can reach your goals. It starts with self-awareness: noticing what you feel and how strong it is. Then you pause before reacting (Stop, Think, Act) and use calming tools such as slow breathing. Your beliefs and thoughts shape your feelings and actions, so changing an unhelpful thought ('I'm useless') into a helpful one ('I can't do it yet') changes what you do. Good self-managers set SMART goals, plan their time by importance, build healthy habits and bounce back from setbacks (resilience). These skills help in school, friendships and future careers.
- ICT Skills: Office Tools, Internet, E-mail and Staying Safe – ICT means Information and Communication Technology. It is the set of tools we use to make, store and share information: computers, phones, software and the internet. The core ICT skills are: using a word processor to write, a spreadsheet to calculate, a presentation tool to show ideas, the internet to search, e-mail to communicate, and good habits to stay safe online.
- Entrepreneurship Development – Entrepreneurship is starting a new business by spotting a need, putting resources together and taking the risk. India needs entrepreneurs for jobs, new ideas and balanced growth. The process runs from knowing yourself to launching and growing. Start-up India (2016) supports new firms, funding comes from savings, angels, venture capital, banks and crowdfunding, and intellectual property rights protect new ideas, brands and creative work.
- Green Skills: Sustainable Development, Green Economy and Green Jobs – Green skills are the knowledge, habits and job skills that help us live and work without harming the planet. They rest on sustainable development (meeting today's needs while leaving enough for the future). A green economy grows while cutting pollution and waste, often by going circular: make, use, repair, recycle. It creates green jobs such as solar technician or recycling worker. Everyone can use green skills through the 5 Rs: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle.
2. Basics of Networking
Networking basics
- Computer Networks and How the Internet Works – A network is a group of devices linked to share data. Each device has an IP address. Data is cut into numbered packets. Routers pass each packet hop by hop towards its address, and TCP puts the packets back in order. DNS turns a website name into an IP address. Clients ask, servers answer. Firewalls, passwords, updates and encryption keep a network safe.
3. Website Building using HTML and CSS
HTML and CSS
- Web Development: How HTML, CSS and JavaScript Build a Web Page – A web page is a set of text files. The browser (client) asks a server for them using a URL and HTTP. HTML gives the page its structure: headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, tables and forms. CSS gives style: colours, fonts, spacing and layout. JavaScript gives behaviour: it reacts to clicks and changes the page. Responsive design makes one page fit both phones and computers. Good pages are also accessible, fast and safe.
4. Multimedia Design using GIMP
Image editing
- Graphic Design – Graphic design is planning pictures, words and shapes so that a message is clear, useful and attractive. Designers use elements (line, shape, colour, type, image, space) and principles (alignment and grid, hierarchy, contrast, proximity, repetition, balance and white space). They follow a process: brief, research, ideas, sketches, digital drafts, feedback and final artwork. Graphic design is used in posters, logos, book covers, packaging, signs, websites and apps.
5. JavaScript Part 1
JavaScript basics
- JavaScript Basics: Make a Web Page Think and React – JavaScript is the programming language of web pages. HTML builds the page, CSS styles it and JavaScript makes it do things. Variables (let, const) are named boxes that hold values: numbers, strings, booleans, arrays and objects. Operators calculate and compare. if…else lets the program choose; for and while loops repeat code. A function is a named block of code you can call many times, with parameters and a return value. Built-in methods work on strings (length, toUpperCase, slice), arrays (push, pop, sort, join) and Math (round, max, random). Events such as click and input run functions when the user acts.
