Outreaching the Opportunity | Career Guidance | Sri Ramakrishna Engineering College

The journey through education often feels like an intricate puzzle with countless pieces waiting to be put together. Every piece represents a subject, a skill, or an interest, and understanding each one comprehensively is the key to solving this grand puzzle. However, the challenge lies not just in completing it but in analyzing the patterns that help us make informed decisions about our educational and career paths. 

As we navigate the labyrinth of education and career choices, the guidance we receive plays an invaluable role. The 2023 career guidance and an open house Programme for school students through the college's AICTE-IDEA Lab & Institution's Innovation Council, "What next after plus 2", left an indelible mark on the students, offering them not just guidance but a roadmap to a future brimming with opportunities. It highlighted the importance of understanding our interests, setting high standards, and unwaveringly pursuing our goals. The three-hour talk by Mr. R. Ashwin mesmerized the students who thronged to the college from in and around the city.

In today's world, there's a temptation to chase after financial success, sometimes at the expense of nurturing our true talents and passions. What we often forget is that with consistent practice and dedication, our genuine interests can lead us to unprecedented heights. As high school students, the path to a rewarding career can seem daunting, but it's not an insurmountable challenge. It begins with understanding your own interests and planning ahead.

Mr. Ashwin, the distinguished speaker renowned for his insights into the world of careers and education, illuminated the path of students to a world of opportunities. He meticulously covered a wide array of courses and career possibilities, making students aware of the rich tapestry of professions they could explore.

One of the most striking aspects of Mr. Ashwin's speech was his emphasis on the importance of delving deep into subjects and concepts. He urged students not to fall into the habit of last-minute cramming, a practice all too common among students. Instead, he highlighted the art of learning, which encompasses discipline, consistency, and a peaceful state of mind. Learning with genuine interest, he stressed, is paramount. The three-hour speech served as a wellspring of knowledge for the audience.

Mr. Ashwin's message to students was clear, 'Aim high and set your standards higher.' This advice resonates with the idea that to succeed in any chosen career, one must constantly strive for excellence. Not only is choosing a career significant but how proficient and well-versed you become in that field is equally vital.

"Why do you want to achieve this so badly?" This question, Mr. Ashwin posed, serves as the ultimate motivation. Regularly questioning your own motivation can keep you focused on your goals and remind you of what truly matters. Even during moments of doubt, trusting the process is the key to eventual success. It may sometimes feel like a minor crisis but believe in the journey, and it will inevitably lead to triumph.

 With numerous fun and knowledgeable activities being organized by the College's Tamil Mandram, Quiz club, English Literary Society, Design Thinking, Robotics, Aero Modelling, Fine Arts Club, and IDEA LAB, this year's event was not just an outreach; it was a stepping stone for students to venture into the world of careers and education with clarity, conviction, and the unwavering belief that they can achieve remarkable success. The journey has begun; it's time to aim high and keep walking.
