ENERCON– Career Counseling Workshop

ENERCON – Engineering universities and educational institutes are producing hundreds of engineers every year, but unfortunately in the academic life of engineering students there is no prime attention is given on their professional training, i.e. young engineer who is a fresh graduate does not know that after graduating in what field he/she will be working, either will be working on research work, fieldwork, production, planning or technical sales etc. It is very important for a student to be well aware of different sub fields under his engineering discipline and compare his/her own skills most suitable for the relevant field or develop his skills according to the requirement of that particular field. Those who have done this activity at beginning of their career will peruse right profession and achieve professional excellence much earlier.
ENERCON identifies this requirement and organized a professional training workshop for the fresh graduate students and those students who are in final year of their engineering program. Mr. Imran Zafar, Country Manager ENERCON Systems conducted this class and guided them that what job fields are available for engineers in industries and what are demands of these jobs with respect to skills & expertise. Students participated with great interest and acknowledge that their vision has broadened after attending this seminar.After the class Mr. Imran Zafar talked to Engineering Review and explained the importance of career counseling of young engineers. He said,
“We identified that there are two things which are missing from the market, firstly students are unable to identify their skills and expertise and secondly they don’t know that what opportunities are present for them in market. Consequently, they are not able to tap the opportunities and also employers do not find the right candidate in time. I hope ,after this workshop students wouldanalyze their skillswith the available opportunities and now they are having a clear understanding that which is suitable according to their skills or which skill they need to improve to pursue any particular field of interest. Initially our trainings are focusing on Electrical, Electronics & Industrial Automation sector but we will look forward to collaborateprofessionals of different engineering & non engineering but related sectors to share their knowledge with the students in order to produce better engineers for industry. Many engineering events are organized every year, but they mainly cover technical topics that are definitely beneficial in terms of knowledge but highlighting areas with industrial demands / available jobs are missing which are very relevant for student’s practical life, so through this platform we have tried to explain the students that these are the industries and these are the opportunities, now it is up to the students that what opportunity they choose related to their skills& how they polish their skills, students & professional can follow our page facebook.com/Enerconsystems/ to get details about upcoming courses.”
This is really a good and unique initiative that will help young engineers to open their minds and think about their future without any confusion. These types of workshops should be arranged continuously and it should cover all the sectors, not only for engineering but also for other domains.
