Don Bosco Tech, Sabbavaram center conducted a session on Work Readiness for the Hospitality Phase _10 Batch_5, trainees on August 29, 2020, held virtually. The session was taken by Mr. Vinod Kumar (State MIS coordinator) who briefed the trainees on time management, teamwork, communication skills, etc.

All the Hospitality Trainees attended the interactive session with Mr. Kumar. He started with a brief picture of the current employability of the industry. He highlighted how the growth of the same is going to be in the future. He Said, "Many people focus on their career preparation on helping youth build resumes, develop interviewing skills, and manage finances, these activities do little to help young people be successful in a job. We recommend that youth-serving providers assess their programming to understand how much time is spent on career awareness or financial management, building job readiness skills.”

He also focused on the things below:

  1. Time management & punctuality move from simply showing up at the right time and place to the ability to meet deadlines and demonstrate respect for co-workers’ time.
  2. Professional orientation including appearance, attire, attitude, demeanor, and the ability to think about how early-career jobs fit into a career trajectory
  3. Having a teamwork ethic including leadership abilities, being helpful to others, and recognizing and valuing others’ contributions
  4. Verbal communication includes the ability to ask questions and be proactive about work tasks and responsibilities ahead.
  5. Problem-solving includes the ability to break problems down into smaller pieces as well as critical thinking and decision-making skills.

Mr. Kumar went ahead to advise the students to benefit maximum from the course they are offered. He encouraged the students to become achievers, keep their goals clear, and work hard in that direction with a lasting impression at different stages of their journey towards the goal.
