3 Skills Every Student Must Know for the Successful Future

To move ahead with times, students need to advance their skill set. To stay ahead of the competition, they need to go beyond the constraints of traditional knowledge and get ready for the industry needs and requirements. The question arises:

How students can make themselves market-ready?

This tutorial throws light on the surprizing gap between what students learn and what they, in fact, should. Here’s how students can achieve success.

1.    Communications Skills

Communications skills are an important asset which helps students to effectively deal with others as well as help them to make decisions. In the digital age, students need to access an array of ways to effectively communicate with others (friends or business peers), be it through social media or video conferencing. Thus, this is the need of an hour for an employee to communicate with his/her team and organisation in the best way possible.

2.    Critical Thinking and Problem-solving Ability

These days, companies and organizations put less emphasis on employers to follow certain directions instead, focus more on hiring employers who are good at thinking critically and solving problems. Therefore, in the emerging world, students need to be master of both the skills so that they can provide ideas and help an organisation to grow.  

3.    Adaptive Learning Process

Without any doubt, good institutions have moved from the traditional studying patterns. Now, the students are tested through the exams having multiple-choice questions with automated grading and this system has been opted by many colleges and universities. These practices not only save time and effort but also help teachers to devote more time to interact with students, prepare them for syllabus, work on the professional development of students as well as focus on the students’ in-class activities. These practices also encourage students to opt for the adaptive learning programs as followed by MM(DU) to respond to the needs of students through various applications like NPTEL (providing e-learning to the students through online video and web courses related to different streams). The University also follows ERP ( Enterprise Resource Planning) system to not only help students to know about certain things like Hostel Facility, Bus Facility, Attendance, etc. but also alert parents immediately if any student misses classes frequently.

While basic knowledge makes the personality of students’ really effective, but motivating them towards learning more and more about technology can bring difference in many aspects.

Verdict

Although it is essential for students to earn mastery in a core set of knowledge, the aforementioned skills will help students gain success by developing various thinking skills like create, apply, analyze and evaluate.
