Only 3.84% of engineers are employable in software-related jobs at start-ups, as per latest National Employability Report. Citing the same, the former Vice Chancellor of RGPV and the Adviser of the institute, Professor Piyush Trivedi addressed first year students of bachelor of technology of various technical institutes on Saturday.
He quoted that a major reason for employability ratio being so low is lack of communication skills.
“It does not matter in which medium you have studied, Hindi or English, what matters is that you speak confidently and are able to put your point through,” Trivedi said.
For those students, who are struggling with language, he suggested reading, speaking and writing exercises using English newspapers. “Work daily to improve your language and communication skills,” Trivedi said.
He emphasised the need to understand the practicality of language grammar and practice every day by reading good books instead of memorising language grammar with sight.
Dr Ashok Kumat, Dr Sanjay T Purkar and Dr Nirmal Dagdhi had taken the initiative of the event and said, “In the present scenario where budding engineers usually talk about unemployment, lower package or less govt jobs, they should focus on the skills and hands on experience in at least initial age of professional life.”
Students in their presentations talked about nuances of English language grammar, linguistics, communication skills and presentation skills were well expressed through their colourful posters.
Giving information regarding the program, Prof Manoj Mishra said that the students gave one to one presentations keeping in mind the verbal and non-verbal communication through more than 30 beautiful posters.
Sakshi Chaurasia and Saloni Sharma presented their ideas and concept on Process of Communication.
Hardik Bakhtiya talked about seven 7Cs of Communication.
Aman Gupta and Avani Purohit gave a presentation on figure of speeches.
Improving communication skills
The event focused on discussion and improvement of communication skills with focus on five aspects of communication skills as follows:
• Pay attention. Give the speaker your undivided attention.
• Show that you're listening. It is important that you are 'seen' to be listening.
• Keep an open mind. Try not to interrupt.
• Respond appropriately. Active listening encourages respect and creates a good bond between speaker and listener.
• Engineering leaders must write extensively for their jobs, and their writing needs to be professional, reader-focused, and error-free. What leaders write in particular can affect productivity and the bottom line, so the written communication that leaders create must be clear and concise.
