On 17 February 2026, Don Bosco Tech Jalandhar Centre witnessed an inspiring and transformative moment as it hosted a dynamic Placement Orientation Session for students enrolled in the IT – Customer Care Executive and E-Commerce Executive courses. The session was led by Mr. Balraj, Manager of Balraj Refrigeration Organization and a distinguished alumnus of the centre. His remarkable journey from trainee to accomplished professional stood as living proof that determination, discipline, and continuous learning can truly shape success.

The atmosphere was charged with anticipation as students gathered to gain clarity about their future pathways. From the very beginning, Mr. Balraj captivated the audience with his personal story—one that reflected resilience, growth, and unwavering commitment. His presence alone was a testament to the transformative power of skill-based education.

The session unfolded as a comprehensive roadmap to career success. With clarity and precision, he guided students through every stage of the placement journey—from preparing an impressive resume and mastering interview techniques to adapting seamlessly into corporate life after securing employment. He emphasized that while technical expertise is important, employers today seek individuals who embody confidence, professionalism, adaptability, and integrity.

Students were introduced to practical strategies for interview readiness, including the importance of professional attire, confident body language, effective communication, and understanding employer expectations. Mr. Balraj highlighted that the competitive job market demands not only knowledge but also the right attitude and work ethic. His structured explanation of placement timelines, registration procedures, and required documentation eliminated uncertainties and replaced anxiety with preparedness.

A powerful segment of the orientation focused on personality development and workplace readiness. Through engaging interactions and real-life workplace experiences, he encouraged students to embrace punctuality, teamwork, accountability, and a solution-oriented mindset. The session was not merely instructional—it was reflective and transformative. Students actively participated, evaluated their strengths, and identified areas for self-improvement, making the experience both practical and empowering.

Particularly impactful was his message on self-reliance and financial independence. He reminded students that employment is more than a means of earning—it is a pathway to dignity, stability, and meaningful contribution to society. His words resonated deeply with the recently passed 12th-grade trainees, many of whom are stepping into professional environments for the first time. For them, the session served as a bridge between classroom learning and corporate expectations.

The energy in the room reflected renewed confidence and ambition. Students left not only with information but with inspiration—a clearer vision of their goals and a stronger belief in their capabilities. The orientation successfully instilled a sense of responsibility, purpose, and excitement about the opportunities that lie ahead.

This impactful initiative stands as yet another example of the commitment of Don Bosco Tech Society to holistic development and career empowerment. By connecting students with industry leaders who once walked the same path, the institution continues to nurture professionals who are prepared not just for jobs, but for lifelong success.

The Placement Orientation Session of 17 February 2026 will be remembered not simply as an event, but as a defining milestone—one that ignited ambition, strengthened resolve, and inspired a generation of learners to pursue excellence with confidence and integrity.
