 "Human resource isn’t a thing we do; it is the thing that runs our business " What requires a fulfilling career that can have a wider impact on society? This is the question whose answer every millennial is looking forward to the Institute and its sole responsibility of the placement cell of the institute to resolve those queries. In anticipation of this, the CITP cell of SCMS NOIDA, is organizing a webinar for all young curious brainstorms of the college. This webinar is special in a way, where a person who is responsible for the same addressed students and provided his bountiful knowledge and experience in helping students to get connected with the corporate world fruitfully. We invited Mr. Nicholas Ross possesses extensive experience spanning over 30 years in Placements, Corporate Training, and Sales. His session was all about orienting students on ARISE - TAKE CHARGE.  He enlightened the students by giving advice on having skills as your armer and then position it as your Uniqueness rather than the skills which everyone has. Mr. Ross especially talked about the speed of change occurring in technology and how a student needs to be relevant in adapting and catching the technology and then modify their skill sets to lead the market ahead. According to Mr. Ross, students have to put little effort into managing these challenges nevertheless these challenges can be managed by inheriting the five elements in their future career plan: Agility; Resilience; Integrity; Standardization; Endurance.  

 "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." If we dig into the past or see the present, each and every student looks forward to a successful career after graduating from the best college. Everyone aspires to be a successful CEO or entrepreneur in the times ahead. But reaching those heights is not a one-shot deal. We have to prepare ourselves in the right direction to reach that peak as ‘Rome was also not built in a day’. What are the best companies looking for in their employees? What are the reasons behind the success of these companies? The inquisitive thinkers who wished to know ‘whys and wherefores’ behind the successful performance of an individual and organization and how do they eliminate impediments in the way of efficacious performance were given an opportunity to explore answers to these enigmatic questions through a webinar. We invited an eminent speaker Prof. Dr. Santosh Rangnekar, IIT Roorkee who brought with him 33 years of extensive knowledge and expertise both in Industry and Academia.

In the beginning of the session, he talked about the ‘KASH’ model (Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills, Habits) which was derived from his ICSSR project on ‘Management Education in Technical Institutes’. According to Dr. Rangnekar, ‘muscle power, money power and positioning power will keep on coming and going but what will stay with us for lifetime is the knowledge power’. He further highlighted the importance of all the four factors behind the successful performance of an individual within an organization. The discussion largely revolved around developing as well as maintaining good habits and positive attitudes which will perpetually help in succeeding ahead. The session ended with a great learning that ‘we should create a positive environment around us so that it develops good habits and attitudes’.
