Campus to Corporate Skills and Work-readiness workshops

The objective of the Campus to Corporate Work Readiness Skills Workshops:

Twenty first century workplace emphasizes employees having essential technical (academic skills) as well as workplace behavioral competencies (soft skills). Employers are yearning to hire job aspirants who they think would have acquired workplace competencies along with their academic skills. There has been a paradigm shift in what used to be a linear career path in an organization depending on the number of years an employee would have put in. As career progression begins, social skills and competencies take the center stage and the technical skills are relegated behind or are seen as less significant and this applies to all disciplines. 

On this backdrop the PEW team has identified a Calendar of Events with certain essential transferable skills which commenced from February, 2021. Given that we advocate a Learning Process Ownership (LPO) and a Learner- Centric approach, the format and pedagogy of this initiative is that students take responsibility with Peers and Teachers  to cultivate Self-Management Goals (Zone of Proximal Development - Including Curriculum Ownership Lodge.
