2) NACT
NACT is the only professional body
representing over 1000 Computer Education / Computer Training, Colleges /
Classes / institutions of India (hereafter referred to as CEI = Computer
Education Institution).
Between them, these CEI’s impart
computer-related training to more than a million students each year.
These CEI’s are spread all over
the country and conduct part-time / full-time courses. These courses range from
a few weeks’ upto ¾ years. The students undertaking these courses comprise of :
Ø
Undergraduate
Ø
Fresh
graduates
Ø
Working
professionals
A few large CEI’s have franchisees
in several towns. They also have their own "placement-sections" to help the
students get job upon completion of training.
However, a vast majority of CEI’s
have no full-time / part-time staff-member to assist the students in their
efforts to get a job.
Considering that a CEI’s
reputation is closely linked with:
Ø
How
many of its students get job upon completion of training
Ø
How
soon they get the job
Ø
Where
they get the jobs (India /Abroad)
Ø
At
what salary they get the job,
Both, the CEI’s and NACT are quite
concerned with this matter and are very keen to find a job-placement solution
which
Ø Is
simple / automatic / effortless (minimum effort on part of CEI’s)
Ø Expose
its students to Corporate Recruiters from all over the World
Ø
Provides
an ideal "fit" between the “skills” of
the students and the “needs” of the recruiters by enabling the students to
project a very comprehensive profile
Ø Alerts
a student (thru email) of suitable job-opening from around the world (including "part-time" jobs) the moment these are announced
Ø Enables
the CEI’s (at least the bigger ones) to recover most of the expense incurred by
their internal "placement office" thereby making this effort "self
financing".
Through this agreement, 3P and
NACT will jointly work towards implementation of such a solution

OBJECTIVE
v
CEI’s
(who are members of NACT) would like to help their students find jobs.
v
CEI’s
would also like to make their "placement office" self-financing by earning
revenues from placement of students.
v
With
the foregoing objectives, CEI’s would like to take help of 3P in this manner.
Being apex organization of member CEI’s, NACT will co-ordinate this effort
between CEI’s and 3P.
v
Since
it is not practical for hundreds of CEI’s to enter into individual agreements
with 3P, it is agreed that NACT, representing all member-CEI’s, will enter into
a single, comprehensive agreement with 3P, on behalf of all member CEI’s.
v
On
their part, each member CEI will confirm to NACT in writing its acceptance of
the terms / conditions / obligations of this agreement and agree to abide by
the same.
v
A
member CEI, failing to send such a written confirmation to NACT, will not be
considered as a “party” to this agreement and will not be eligible to receive
from 3P, the "Member Commission", if and when 3P succeeds in finding a job for
one/ more of its students. In such a case, even NACT will not be eligible to
earn “NACT Commission”.
v
Within
60 days of the signing of this agreement, NACT will foreward to 3 P,
comprehensive list of all the "confirming" member CEI’s, based on the
confirmation-letters received by it. Once this 60-day period gets over, no new
names will be permitted to be added unless such a CEI has actually become a
member of NACT during this period, or at any time thereafter.
v
Upon
receipt of this list from NACT, 3P will allot to each CEI on the list, a unique
CEI CODE NO. which 3P will display on the “Submit Resume” Form for the guidance
of the students.
METHODOLOGY
· Immediately
upon signing of this agreement, NACT will circulate amongst its member CEIs, a "summary / extract" of the agreement and obtain "acceptance / confirmation"
from each member and submit to 3 P, the list of the "confirming members" within
30 days of the signing of this agreement.
· 3
P and NACT will jointly design ? develops the "submit Resume" form.
Thereafter-
Ø NACT
will send this form to its confirming members on a floppy
Ø
3
P will upload it on its website along with the "Confirming Member Code Number-CMCN"
Ø
3
P will inform NACT, and each confirming member, its unique CMCN.
· Through
notice-boards / individual circulars etc., each CEI will inform its students to
submit their resumes online on
· Students
must take special care to click on the CMCN of the CEI in which he / she is
currently studying / enrolled.
· The
names of the CEIs and their corresponding CMCN, will be shown in drop-down list
on the "submit Resume" form.
· It
is very important for the CEI to ensure that their students click on the
correct CMCN. Any wrong entry (on part of the student) will deprive the CEI of
its "Member Commission",
· Each
& every student submitting his resume online on 3pjobs.com will be
allotted a unique Permanent Executive
Number = PEN. Each PEN will be linked with a unique CMCN. Under no circumstance
will a PEN get linked to more than one CMCN.
· If
a student is undergoing two (or more) courses in two (or more) different CEIs
simultaneously and submits his resume twice, each time entering the names of
different CEIs, then it is possible that he may get allotted, two unique PEN,
each linking him with a different CEI.
E.g
PEN 326984 corresponding CMCN 493
(say Silverline)
And
PEN 326995 corresponding CMCN 632
(Say Boston Institute)
In such an event, payment to CEI
(Member Commission) will strictly depend upon "which PEN got shortlisted by the
headhunter during online headhunt? Only the CMCN (CEI) linked with that
particular PEN will be entitled to the "Member Commission". However, it may
happen that during online headhunt, both PEN get shortlisted (both of which
belongs to the same student) – each of which is linked to a different CEI.
In such a "tie", the principle of
"First come, first Served"
Will be applied.
The resume (and therefore the
corresponding PEN) which was chronologically submitted earlier, will be
considered "eligible". The CMCN, which is linked to this PEN, will be entitled
to “Member Commission”.
It is clearly understood that in respect of given student,
It is clearly understood that in respect of given student,

Member
