On August 8, 2024, the AI students embarked on an insightful field visit designed to elevate their understanding of essential professional skills and industry-specific tools. This enriching experience was led by Mr. Balaraju, the seasoned training manager from Lakshmi Hyundai Group, Vishakapatnam. His guidance provided a crucial bridge between classroom theory and real-world application, leaving a lasting impact on the students.

The visit kicked off with an immersive session on the Global Dealer Management System (GDMS) 2.0, a cutting-edge tool revolutionizing the automotive industry. Mr. Balaraju demonstrated how GDMS 2.0 streamlines dealership operations, from inventory management to customer relations and sales tracking. The students were captivated by the system's data analytics capabilities, which leverage AI algorithms to optimize processes and enhance customer service. Practical demonstrations made the learning experience even more engaging, allowing students to see AI in action within a real-world context.

Beyond technical know-how, the visit also emphasized the importance of communication skills in a professional setting. Through lively discussions and interactive role-playing exercises, the students learned to convey ideas clearly, listen actively, and adapt their communication styles to various audiences. These exercises bolstered their confidence, preparing them for the nuanced demands of workplace interactions.

Another intriguing aspect of the session was the exploration of body language. Mr. Balaraju shared insights into how non-verbal cues—such as posture, eye contact, and gestures—play a pivotal role in professional interactions. The students discovered how to project confidence and professionalism, key elements in making a lasting impression during interviews and meetings.

The session concluded with a focus on dressing for success in interviews. With practical advice on selecting attire that aligns with industry expectations, Mr. Balaraju highlighted how first impressions are often shaped by one's appearance. The students left with a newfound understanding of how the right choice of clothing can convey confidence and competence, giving them an edge in their future careers.

This field visit was a dynamic and comprehensive learning experience, equipping the AI students with both the technical acumen and the soft skills essential for their professional journeys.
