Amritsar: Orientation workshops

Amritsar: DAV College Principal Dr Amardeep Gupta addressed the orientation workshop on the short-term courses for the students in DAV College Amritsar today. “With the increase in demand for job-relevant skills, individuals nowadays are taking short-term job oriented courses that certify them. The skill gap is the major reason for not getting the right job option, regardless of business type and size. Recruiters now prefer professionals who have completed short-term job-oriented courses on specific skill sets,” he said. The college has taken an initiative to start these courses during summer vacations in different domains that include designing smart device using IoT, creating mobile apps using FlutterFlow, graphic designing using Photoshop, understanding machine learning using Python, creating websites using WordPress, live stock exchange trading and e-filing of IT return.
