More focus should be on Communication skills. Even if the student has good skills and talent and if he cannot express it to others then he cannot progress well. I see this is one of the major reason while they are unable to excel well

The students from various streams like engineering, pharmacy, B.Com, BMS, MBA, etc may be technically knowledgeable but in terms of their confidence, their soft skills and behavioural skills are not employable at all. This results in very low or no campus placement. The students need to be trained on employability skills. This should be on a continuous basis. Right from the time the student enters college and should be made compulsory.

#CareerCentre having run a successful career orientation company for 2 years in Bangalore I can safely say that the key to any career centre is to have them divided into different industries and a thorough Industry overview (already have multiple reports) along with salary expectations to be provided to candidates. Along with this, soft skills to be taken up on interest basis and assign credit points for each variable which is then added up to give a final score.

Similarly, B Ed should be made optional for schools. I feel the career centre needs to focus on development of right talent, with or without qualification. We need people with right attitude and knowledge to handle situations than the qualified people who would be sitting ducks. Pls ease the system as well with the career centre.

These centres can be a medium between employers and prospective employees. Focus for these centres should be to build competencies of the workforce that can be applied to multiple areas, thereby ensuring multiple job avenues and better prospects. Stress should be on the development of softer skills (such as communication and emotional intelligence) and logical thinking for better empowerment of the workforce.

Dear Sir, Lot of norms for people to get job needs to be eased. I work for education sector and often we don't find people who could be recruited. Either they don't have the required qualification or the talent. For ex, to be a good teacher in colleges, Ph D should not be mandatory. A person with a rich experience can teach better compared to most of fake Ph D holders. But the system doesn't allow them to enter.
