The seminar commenced with the introductory address by Dr. Amit Kundu,TIC, Mathabhanga College. He urged the participants to absorb the lessons and advices that were to emerge during the course of the seminar. The proceedings should, he noted, inspire our students to become more rounded and competent individuals who could contribute to building a better India. The speakers from the ICA addressed the students on various issues pertaining to building a skill-set that would make them readily employable once they graduate. The importance of acquiring computer-skills was repeatedly emphasized, along with the need to venture into other modes of vocational training that could build a bridge between companies looking to hire (especially in the private sector) and those seeking jobs as freshers. The speakers highlighted the benefits of enrolling at the ICA which would prepare the students for the job-market by conducting mock-interviews as a preparatory drill, as well as offering them practical problems similar to the projects one has to later undertake as employees.
