The Yoga Institute at UNIABROAD is the first in the online system to offer a sequential
professional-level yoga curriculum developed in consultation with renowned yoga
experts.
Students earn three certificates: Fundamentals of Yoga, Yoga Theory and Practice and
Yoga Teacher Training. These certificate programs teach the theory and practice of the
art, science and philosophy of yoga in a systematic and sequential way.
While students pursue their studies in anatomy, physiology, Indian history & culture,
the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and lessons in how to teach, they are required to take
continuous tutorials in Asana and Pranayama. Therefore the study of yoga is not just
one of intellect but of direct and personal experience.

Fired? Retired? Looking to be rehired? If it’s been a while since you looked for a job,
you may want to add a new tool to your search - websites that focus on jobs, careers
and information for older workers.
Some 20 websites now cater to older job seekers—double the number in 2006—and
comprise a growing subset of about 50,000 sites that offer career databases or job
listings. Among the leaders are Naukri.com, Monster.com RetirementJobs.com,
SeniorJobBank.org and RetiredBrains.com.
“The aging workforce is huge, so the potential market for these services is equally
large,” says Peter Weddle, publisher of the Weddle directory of career websites and
founder of the International Association of Employment Web Sites (IAEWS), the trade
association for the global online employment services industry.
Internet job search sites that cater to mature workers vary in quality , size and
customer-friendly features. Some have only a tiny number of job listings while a few, a
spin-off of mega-site CareerBuilder.com, have more than a million. Though most sites
don’t charge a fee, some do, and several try to entice you to sign up for extra feebased
services like résumé writing. A few sites screen employers and connect you with
real jobs, while others will accept any advertiser and inundate you with spam or work -
from-home offers.
RetirementJobs.com is among those sites that certify employers as age-friendly and
identify them on its website. And Jobs4point0.com has researched and compiled a
small but growing list of the best employers for people over 40. UNIABROAD’s career
site lists its National Employer Team of 390 companies interested in hiring older
workers.
These sites target people like Vishal Singh , 50, an Army veteran who has run a trucking
business, restaurant and two grocery stores. Kushal Bhargav, of Lucknow says the
features of many of the websites he uses in his current job search are similar. But, he
says, he almost never hears back from employers after applying for jobs listed on the
mega-career sites but has had the most responses from RetirementJobs.com.
Another job seeker, Ravi Mukhicha, 57, of Pune was downsized in February from his
management position at a global technology firm. The last time he had to look for a
job was in 1972, when he graduated from college. He says he uses websites like
RetiredBrains.com and RetirementJobs.com because they represent “businesses that
may be interested in older candidates and understand their advantages.”
But he doesn’t stop there. He looks at sites like Naukri.com and Monster.com/clickjobs.com for competing with aspirants half his age and securing a
senior position in a MNC. He checks company sites of Wipro, Infosys, Reliance and DLF.
And he goes to job fairs, networks with his contacts and signs up for e -mail
newsletters. Uniabroad’s mantra: “If you’re interested in getting another job, you’ve
got to work on it.” |
