RS Goswami, Immediate past chairman CII MP Council, Prakriti Jain, co-chair designate, Yi Bhopal Chapter and Pramila Maini, Director, IEHE were also present as key dignitaries of the session.
Students have shown keen interest and were very participative through whole finishing school batch. In the valedictory session students shred their experience with the dignitaries and requested CII and the college management to organize such finishing school sessions more often. The objective of the Finishing School is to provide soft skills coaching to students graduating from Engineering, Business Management and law institutions.
The purpose of the School is to facilitate the strengthening of the capability of the students, to improve their employability, once they complete their education. The focus of the programme is to sharpen soft skills, which have now become extremely important for success in any profession, anywhere in the world.
In the first batch at IEHE, 50 students took benefit out of this initiative made for them. 12 industrial faculties trained them through the 30 hours course schedule. The finishing school programme has provided very detailed and in-depth knowledge through sessions on office management, corporate culture, organizational behavior, effective presentation skills, time management and goal setting, public speaking etc.
The topics were made to understand by mock sessions and case studies to students.
