Hi,
It all depends on the requirement to begin with. Many colleges opt for communication skills training as that's the base for all your workshops. Nowadays, there are etiquette workshops also being conducted for colleges. If you are targeting an IT college, then ITIL training is very important.
You need to first identify what the market requirement is and then accordingly market your training programs.

Thank you for the response. However, my query was straightforward. I am seeking various approaches that could be adopted for the opening session. I am in need of suggestions for activities such as icebreakers, pitching exercises, quizzes, etc.

Hi, Garima. Stick to the basics, dear. Your entrance should be very friendly. You can talk about current affairs or normal scenario stories. Make it interactive and smartly observe how to transition to the topic of your training. Everybody wants a relaxed start, so give them a dose of laughter with a smile and share healthy stories.
Hope it helps.

Hi Garima,
You actually require icebreakers to start a session with college students because they are scared of typical lectures. You really need to sugarcoat your soft skills sessions well so that they can swallow it without hesitation. I use some icebreakers with college students like:
- Add an adjective to your name like - SMART SANJAY - ARTISTIC ANITA... something which describes a quality of yours. The adjective's first letter may or may not match the name's first letter; it can be Smart Anita also.
- If you were to make a movie on your life, what would be the title of the movie (creates a lot of humor). You can substitute a novel instead of a movie.
- Or you can write an interesting quotation on the board pertaining to the subject and ask them for views.
- Or you can show them a video and discuss.
Hope it helps.
