Preparation for Future
Sri Aurobindo Finishing School is a one-of-a-kind initiative by an Engineering College in India.
Why Finishing School For Already Graduate Students?
Although a huge number of students are graduating every year, a recent study has revealed that the number of engineers that companies find employable is far less. This can essentially be attributed to the following reasons
- Huge need gap between industry and curriculum
- Minimal or No Industry interaction
- Lack of focus on soft skills
- Too much focus on theory rather than practice
- Brushing up of skills acquired is not taking place (revision courses)
- Lack of orientation about the Placement and HR processes of companies
To address all these issues, Aurobindo has come up with an innovative in-house Institute by the name of Aurobindo Finishing School. Aurobindo Finishing School is a one-of-a-kind initiative by a Private Engineering College in India. It is an Institute for the students of Aurobindo whose sole purpose is to develop and deliver programs, modules, short courses, and capsules that will make students ‘Industry Ready’ and to impart knowledge and skills as required by the industry for matching jobs. The finishing school shall provide an opportunity for graduate students to develop soft, managerial, and communication skills in addition to technical skills. The Institute and its faculty continuously work towards the goal of increasing the ‘Employability Quotient’ of the students of Aurobindo. The curriculum of Aurobindo Finishing School is drawn in consultation with the Corporate Advisory Board, The Industry Interface Development Centre, and other distinguished people from the industry.
