Our Bureau
COIMBATORE: CII Coimbatore zone has launched a soft skills training programme to strengthen students communication skills and career prospects.
The soft skills training initiative, according to Mr K. Jayaramakrishnan, Chairman-Task Force on Industry-Institute Interaction, CII (TN) would be replicated at other zones of CII very soon. Dr Mahalingam College of Engineering and Technology at Pollachi near Coimbatore is the first institute to take up this initiative.
The CII initiative is based on feedback from industry. Delivering the keynote address at the inaugural session of the soft skills training programme, Mr Jayaramakrishnan, while emphasising that soft skills played a vital role in making students employable, pointed out that the candidates by and large failed to impress during interviews not because of the dearth in talent, but due to lack of soft skills.
CII has drawn up a structured approach for assessing students on their soft skills profile using scientifically developed, tested and validated psychometric testing tool.
