 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, this will
10 min 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 to the
Onboarding: class and play the “Onboarding Video or Presentation”.
20mins 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

Team Activity Planning: MENTOR: Explain to the whole team that you will now
30 minutes be planning how to collaborate for the first and second
collaborative Team Activities that will take place outside

agreed upon so that everyone knows what they are
doing for this activity and how.

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 for
5 minutes 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 an

background 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 board Certification in graphic designing from

NAVTTC Training/ or STEPS(NAVTTC partner institute)
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 regularity
(under training) 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.
