From day one, the atmosphere thrummed with excitement as students eagerly embraced the opportunities ahead in their new career path.

Under the expert guidance of Ms. Estrela Osta, the Communicative English and ITES Trainer at Don Bosco Nitika, the orientation workshops were meticulously crafted to impart not only technical skills but also crucial soft skills. Recognizing the growing significance of interpersonal abilities in today's dynamic workforce, the sessions focused on cultivating values, fostering the right attitudes, and enhancing situational awareness among the students.

A series of engaging activities such as "Chinese Whisper," "Paper Models for the Hotel Industry," “Goal Setting,” “Human Snake,” and "Balancing the Ball and Bamboo Stick" allowed the students to bond as a team while sharpening their leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. These interactive exercises made learning enjoyable and provided practical insights into the real-world scenarios they might encounter in their careers.

What truly set this induction apart was its emphasis on holistic development. Beyond theoretical knowledge, students were tasked with researching and presenting on 5-star hotels in Kolkata, showcasing their newfound expertise and enthusiasm for the hospitality sector. This hands-on approach deepened their understanding and instilled a sense of ownership and pride in their chosen field.

The feedback from students highlighted their deep engagement and appreciation for the comprehensive learning experience.
