PDRi- is short of Professional Development Research Institute and Consultancy Services. It is an ISO Certified Forum. PDRi is the brain child of University Professionals / Researchers, who possess unique approach to conventional and structured education- which cant fill the gap arising out of new, modern and complex expansion of technology and market demand. It works under the Umbrella Of PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH & TRAINING SERVICES-SMC, Pvt. Limited. PDRi works under the dynamic leadership of professionals by introducing new and innovative approaches to equip Skilled Pakistanis across the globe. PDRi is not a Degree or Diploma Awarding Institution, rather it works in collaboration with some international and national institutions. I works as bridge between students and the colleges and universities. The basic rationale revolves around the fact that EXPERIENCE of life if calculated in credit hours is not a useless venture. It is now in the underway around the world.
PDRi has some of its projects for the welfare of society like Smart Cure Academy, which helps in training slow learners. Similarly has opened CSS/PMS training Chapter, Professional Research and Training Services, and Female Development Initiatives.
PDRi has also launched its own Multi Disciplinary Professional Research Journal which is under way to get ISSN number. This journal will certainly prove a mile stone in the professional development.
PDRi Overseas Chapter is engaged in providing them guidance and counseling in respect of career development via Council membership , admission to an international universities, research support, through easy to do manner. For this purpose skilled Pakistanis have been classified into three categories.
A. The Candidate is matric passed and have at least three years practical experience and can demonstrate those skills in any way like research, interview, online study .
B. Intermediate or DAE passed or bachelor pass and having more than 05 years experience are eligible for the award of graduate and post graduate standards international certifications.
C. Usually such persons are graduate and working in multi nationals at managerial positions.
PDRi/PDRC is primarily committed to bringing new trends in Professional Qualification based on Research Initiatives, which means to bring development to the professionals mainly via Professional Research, training, Online Action Research. PDRi is, thus, striving to carry new and advanced concepts to the body of knowledge. Formal structural education system both online and on-campus is in vogue in every part of the world. A little attention is paid to professional executive qualifications, mainly for on-job professionals. This Concept is based on the assumption that every person can not afford to pursue traditional education due to family and job pressures. Many experiments in the West like U.S.A., UK, France have taken place, and new terminologies like R.P.L. recognition of prior learning, E.B.D. Experience-based education, FTES fast track education system, and so many others have evolved. All these methodologies have been designed so delicately that some persons try to gain camouflage under them and set into selling education in the wrong ways. The main approach for this purpose relied on the assessment & evaluation of existing competencies on the basis of Research. Here, Research implies testing, verify, and enhance the intensity and frequency of the prospective candidate. The Research intended for the purpose may vary from simple Assignment to Research Article or Project. Unlike conventional schooling, this set of schooling does not fall in some national or internationally schemed frameworks of education and regulatory entities. However, PDRi presents a plate form for such activities keeping in view the needs, environment, and busy work schedule of the on job professionals
So in this way, PDRi presents a unique, adventurous, innovative idea of enhancing professionalism, keeping in view the challenges of the 21st century and post-modernism era. To give a practical shape to the ideas of PDRi members, various memorandums and agreements have been made with multiple entities/bodies/institutions and Research related centers around the world. However, we have decided to work in collaboration with the two institutions, namely 1. TRACCERT Canada, 2. Pacific University Nicaragua central America. Traccert Canada is selected because Canadian professional qualification is the most trusted worldwide for attaining high profile jobs and AAAC of Canada accredits it.
Similarly, the European International University, inc. Paris is also a very standard selection. For the first time in the history of humanity, it has touched on a unique framework of the qualification system.
NOTE: Such qualification is not recognized by PMC/HEC/PEC/PNC ETC, because it does not fall in the formal education frame work of Pakistan. So PDRi does not want to mislead the aspirants.
For Overseas Pakistanis, we strive to bring flexible, customized ways of certification.
Most importantly, working professionals who seek to upgrade their knowledge and skills in specialized vocations could benefit from E.I.U.’s flexible programs, enabling them to study while working. Unlike academic learning, there is a direct application for learning in the vocational & professional streams, hence increasing chances of employment and job promotions compared to others without such learning experiences. It is a well-known fact that people often pursue Vocational Education & Professional Training (VEPT) to achieve their dream jobs.
In addition, most of the learned and highly marketable Vocational Skills are practically useful worldwide, creating employment opportunities globally. Apart from the many personal and professional benefits that VEPT provides to an individual, it is a well-accepted fact that it also serves as a great asset to the economy of any country, i.e., the catalyst for national growth.
WHY PDRI/PDRC?
