SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), in association with
The Hindu, hosted its sixth webinar on ‘How COVID-19 is Redefining Jobs and Lifestyle’, as part of the SRM Virtual Conclave for Career Guidance 2021.
Krishnan C.A., Business Unit Head, TCS iON, highlighted how the pandemic has disrupted educational systems. “Traditional classrooms have become outdated and what used to be unidirectional teaching has become multimodal. While there is an explosion of content, it has to be personalised to ensure that it is consumed effectively.” There are significant learning opportunities even now, he said. “Opt for well-curated virtual internship. Credibility of certificates matters. Corporates don’t look merely for students with an MBA, but for those who are upskilled. Look for programmes that are phygital, so that you can apply what you learn. Network with potential recruiters to acquire skills that the industry looks for and work on communication skills.”
