Third-year UG students of WCC participated in an 8-day soft skills course offered by Larsen & Toubro as part of the L&T EduTech initiative to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
The short course brought in field experts to teach soft skills to final year students of both
shifts. Each class was three hours long and was organized from the 10th to the 18th of July
for the first batch. Students participated in activities, attended lectures, and answered assessments in order to master business communication and management skills.
Student Voices:
“If I have to view it as a big picture, then definitely the course helped me find my purpose in life - to have a clear vision of what I am going to do next and what skills I'm required to develop in the upcoming days in order to achieve my purpose.”
- Esther Joy, III BA English
Highlights:
✅ Lectures on Time management, critical thinking, business etiquette and communication
✅ Vision boards and personal SWOT analysis
✅ Interactive sessions with friendly competition to reiterate each topic
✅ Resume building and email writing with real-time feedback from experts
✅ Presentation skills with activities like Shark Tank and Storytelling
✅ Certificates awarded to all participants
“My experience was wonderful here, the students had a good way of presenting themselves and were enthusiastic about learning new things.”
- Ms. Shweta, Trainer from L&T EduTech
The classes concluded on the 18th of July with a final assessment on one of L&T EduTech’s core objectives: to enhance the employability of students in colleges.
