Job description

Skill IT Education is hiring 4 Programme Counsellors to be the first person a student talks to when they are deciding on a career in technology.

Every student who walks in or calls us comes with a different story: a fresh B.Tech graduate unsure where to start, a B.Com student curious about data, a working professional looking to switch into cyber security. Your job is to listen first, understand their education, interests and goals, and then explain which of our programmes fits them, what they will learn, how the internship works and what careers it can lead to.

You do not need prior counselling or sales experience. We will train you in depth on every programme we run and on how to counsel students honestly. What we look for is good communication, genuine curiosity about people and a willingness to learn.

What You’ll Own

• Understand Every Student — Speak with students and parents over calls, WhatsApp, walk-ins and video, and understand their academic background, skills, interests and career goals before recommending anything.
• Educate on Our Programmes — Explain our Cyber Security, SOC Analyst, AI & ML, Data Science and Data Analytics programmes clearly: curriculum, tools, duration, internship, fees, batch timings and the roles each one prepares for.
• Recommend the Right Fit — Match each student to the programme that suits their background and goals, and be honest when a programme is not the right fit for them.
• Run Demos & Campus Visits — Schedule and support demo classes, webinars, campus tours and counselling sessions so students can see the training before they decide.
• Follow Up & Enrol — Follow up on enquiries with care, answer questions, help students through admission paperwork and hand them over smoothly to the academics team.
• Keep Records Updated — Log every conversation and follow-up in our CRM so no student enquiry is missed and the team knows where each student stands.

What We’re Looking For

• Any graduate (B.Tech, B.Sc, BCA, B.Com, BBA, MBA or similar). Freshers from the 2024, 2025 and 2026 batches are welcome.
• 0–1 years of experience. Internship or part-time experience in counselling, customer support, admissions or sales is a plus, not a requirement.
• Clear spoken English. Telugu and/or Hindi is a strong advantage for talking with students and parents.
• Interest in technology and the patience to learn our programmes in depth: you will be trained on Cyber Security, AI and Data basics.
• A good listener who is comfortable on calls and meeting people in person.
• Target-oriented, organised and comfortable with follow-ups.
• Based in or able to commute daily to Madhapur, Hyderabad.
