Acquire skills with futuristic mindset, students told at The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling Fair 2025
Acquisition of skills in niche segments with a futuristic mindset will, in all certainty, stand learners in good stead to navigate challenges in building their career in the tech world.. This was the main takeaway for participants at The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling Fair 2025 in Coimbatore on Wednesday. A multi-disciplinary approach in higher learning, a yearning to explore, a global exposure, shedding fear of failure, and developing entrepreneurial instincts ranked high among the other aspects the speakers emphasised on for the student audience figuring out the contours of job market. In his keynote address at the inaugural session, R. Sundar, Managing Trustee of SNR Sons Charitable Trust called upon the students on the cusp of higher learning to make their choices wisely. The event was an ideal platform for the students for doing so, Mr. Sundar said. Career opportunities could be tapped through understanding the convergence of various subjects with a sense of curiosity, Anusha Ravi, CEO of Park Institutions, the guest of honour, emphasised. Artificial Intelligence was becoming indelible in every job domain, Ms. Anusha said, also taking part in a panel discussion on 'Engineering your Future' moderated by R. Saravana Kumar, former Chairman of Computer Society of India (Coimbatore) and former Director at Cognizant. The other panellists constituted A. Soundarrajan, Principal of Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College, and Sai Sundarakrishna, Chief Innovative Officer at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham. Prof. Soundarrajan explained the corollary between the trait of empathy and success of start-ups. A start-up entrepreneur, to be successful, has to study the customers' minds to think and deliver, he said. Mr. Sundarakrishna dwelt on the potential AI, data science and cyber security will hold in the future. Delivering a talk on 'Opportunities Available for Todays Youth', Manimekalai Mohan, Correspondent, SSVN Group of Institutions, urged the students to develop the mindset for entrepreneurship early on in life. Academic qualifications are not a guarantee for jobs. Gaining global exposure and creating jobs would be far more fulfilling than getting placed in salaried jobs, Ms. Manimekalai stressed. One of the stalls put up by Park Institutions showcased the utility of AI applications to thwart cyber frauds. 'Much is being talked about AI: the technology is still evolving. The effort is to highlight the directions AI is heading towards,' Ms. Anusha said. The event is presented by Sri Ramakrishna Educational Institutions, Coimbatore, and powered by Park Institutions. Associate partners constitute Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Academy of Media Design, KIT - Kalaignarkarunanidhi Institute of Technology, The Institute of Chartered Accountant of India, PPG Group Institutions, Coimbatore, and United Institute of Technology.
