What is campus to corporate training?
Campus to corporate training (often called C2C or college to corporate training) is a structured program for new graduates in their first weeks at work. College builds knowledge; the workplace also expects habits that are rarely taught on campus: how to write to a client, how to behave in a meeting, how to plan a week, how to take feedback and how to own a result.
A good campus to corporate program closes that gap early, so new hires reach productivity faster, managers spend less time correcting basics, and fewer freshers leave in their first year.
Who is it for?
- Freshers and graduate trainees joining IT, GCC, engineering, BFSI, consulting, pharma, retail or manufacturing roles.
- Management trainees and interns moving into full-time roles.
- Campus hiring and L&D teams that want a consistent induction for every new batch.

How the program is delivered
- Duration: one to three days in person, or four to six live virtual sessions of about three hours each. The sample training plan below shows a full three-day design; many organisations run a two-day version within their induction calendar.
- Method: short inputs, role-plays, group activities, video cases and practice tasks using your company's real scenarios.
- Customisation: examples, email samples and case studies are built on your roles, clients and culture after a short needs discussion with HR and hiring managers.
- Follow-up: each participant leaves with a 30-day action plan; managers get a simple guide to reinforce the habits on the job.
- Measurement: optional pre- and post-program assessments on AssessAll for communication and workplace skills.

Sample training plan: 3-day hands-on design
This three-day design helps fresh graduates make the jump from campus to workplace quickly and confidently. Participants join a simulated company from the first hour and work in project teams throughout. They decode unwritten workplace rules, build a professional image, write emails and messages their managers will not need to fix, practise calls and stand-ups, take ownership of mistakes, manage time and stress, and work across cultures. On day three they run a full simulated client day and present their first-90-days plan to a panel of managers.
Participants can explain what changes from campus to work and show the first behaviours that build a strong professional image.

What activities are included in campus to corporate training?
New joiners are 'hired' into a simulated company. They sort campus and work rules, rotate through professional image stations, fix freshers' emails, run mock stand-ups, practise owning a mistake, play a trust game and complete a full simulated client day before presenting their first-90-days plan to a panel.
Frequently asked questions
When should campus to corporate training be scheduled?
Bodhih recommends running it within the first two weeks of joining, before habits form. Freshers work in project teams of five inside a simulated company, and the program ends with a simulated client day and a first-90-days plan presented to managers. A 90-day follow-up with managers and buddies reinforces the habits.
How much does campus to corporate training cost?
Bodhih does not publish a fixed price for campus to corporate training. Fees are quoted per batch after a short needs analysis, because cost depends on the size of the graduate intake (cohorts of 20–40), one to three days in person or six live virtual sessions, and the 90-day follow-up with managers and buddies.
