Hello friends
Now, we can see that universities like JNTU and AU included soft skills in Engineering Colleges. This is a clear manifesto that the academia is interested to see that the guys who go out of class-rooms should be fully conversant with the requisite employability skills. Since the last two three years, industry supported this idea and offered training to various faculties of these colleges under various programs.
Now the problem is that how do they impart the training to these students. In the class rooms bound by 50 minutes period? Can they show any difference between teaching and training? How far it would be effective? Let us share ideas.

No effort with the right intention ever goes waste. I have been conducting bridge trining and workshops in Hyerabad for college students for over 4 years and feel that it does make a difference. The bridge programs are not to glorify the corporate world but to introduce the students to the facts there. These programs are effective if they are conducted in an activity based manner as compared to the lecture methodology followed in the institutions. This helps the students understand, retain and apply the concepts better. One odd training session will not make so much of a difference as will a series of sessions and workshops with a common goal spread over the entire academic session will.

Its a good thing that the Universities have realized the importance of Soft Skills and decided to impart the same for their students. However, the institutions have to understand that soft skills training is altogether a different ball game and should not be viewed as another faculty taking class. The onus lies on the trainer to make himself look separate from the regular faculty. He has to adopt a different methodolgy. Soft Skills training should have three purposes. First, the awareness, then exposure and the most important point is the institution should not focus on grading. Soft skills are basically personality traits and involves a shift in the thinking and perception. This does not happen so easily as the students in many colleges come from vernacular background and secondly, a student will not understand the concept very easily as these skills look difficult to learn because they are activity based. Being a shy and hesitant a student cannot come out of the shelf so easily.
