=== <span style="color:#0000ff;">'''Strategy 4: To enhance the Aptitude Skills and the Communication Skills in students.'''<br/span> First aspect to be considered: Communication skills are essential for the successful future career of a student. In today’s competitive world, communication skills in business are the most sought after quality of an educated person. Reading, writing and listening carefully are the three most important communication skills for students. These skills like most of the communication skills sounds too familiar as a result of which we take them for granted. Second aspect to be considered: The statistics reveal that 70 percent of world’s recruitment companies use aptitude test as a part of their recruitment procedure. These types of tests often permit potential companies to learn more about candidate’s personality and abilities. Recruiters will put to use several methods to sort out and do away with persons from the selection procedure. Conventionally, covering letters or CVs are utilized, but firms often get hundreds of job applications for every job vacancy. So, psychological and aptitude tests are cost-effective and simple ways for sorting out candidates to select right individuals. Beforehand preparation is very important, as saying goes ‘practice makes a man perfect’ As a UIF Leadership circle for our campus, we would like to go about with the steps/projects/activities mentioned below to help achieve the said goals above: · Certification Course in English communication. We would ensure Business English communication skills through Cambridge Certification. Signing of MOU with the Cambridge University would be initiated! Classroom sessions will be provided. All the course material would be provided by the trainers. The college management would look into the cost structure! This would be done throughout the semester (say for about 3-4 months). · Provide Training to students to improve their Aptitude skills. Signing of MOU with third party (say FACE Training) to provide aptitude training facilities to students of pre-final and final year! The course material would be provided by the trainers itself. The management would look into the cost structure! Pre Assessments would be done to know the level of training required on the basis of which the training material would be decided. Post Assessments would help us know the success rate. This would be done throughout the semester (say for about 3-4 months). · Conducting mock interview/GD sessions for enhancing the communication skills as well as confidence level of the students so they can face their interviews in a much prepared and better way. This could be achieved by conducting GD competitions, best interview competitions etc! We would also get connected with some professionals and arrange for sessions wherein they would brief the students about tips and tricks to handle a GD or an interview in a better way! The cost structure for that would be decided in the course of time. Also we would connect with the already placed students of our campus to come and share their experiences with our students (because an experience coming from a peer group really makes a striking difference). ===
