Summer is the time when bees go around gathering maximum nectar to raise their honey stock for the winter months . The ASAP honey comb too buzzed with activity during the summer of 2013 with the team members going out to gather talent for its skill training of the coming years . And it turned out to be one of the greatest team building exercises ever seen by ASAP . The honey comb was at its best during the Summer of 2013 .
Logistics of training was one of the greatest challenges faced during the early days . Significant among them was finding and equipping enough Communicative English Trainers who can facilitate ASAP classes in schools and colleges . Though an initial number of them could be sourced from the open market through a formal recruitment process , the rising demand for more numbers in the coming years of growth worried ASAP . Every problem has in it a solution , if not many , is what the team has found through its regular brainstorming evening meetings in Dr . K . M . Abraham ’ s ( then Principal Secretary , Higher Education , Govt . of Kerala ) office in the Secretariat Annex .
