YQworld-Students are finding new avenues to fight the placement blues. With fewer job opportunities in the market and companies shying away from conducting placement drives at many colleges, students are now concentrating on honing their personality skills. To help them, UT education department has come up with a bouquet of short-term certificate courses in office management, soft skills development, spoken English, personality and grooming, among others.
The department is in the last stage of finalizing modalities of introducing these programmes, which would reportedly begin from mid-January. These courses would be run in collaboration with various government colleges and at the end, UT administration-approved certificates would be provided to students. The duration of courses is around three months.
According to information, courses will be run in the evening after college hours. A senior official from education department said the initiative is in tandem with suggestions made by National Knowledge Commission over optimally utilizing college infrastructure and resources.
