Entrepreneur and CEO emphasize continuous education for brighter careers; university officials stress importance of upskilling for job market success.
Entrepreneur and Chief Executive Officer of Ranjana Enterprises Chandanabala and Secretary and Principal of S.S. Tegnoor Degree College Jyoti Tegnoor have stressed the need for continuous education to gain knowledge and build a brighter career.
Speaking during the graduation day celebrations at the faculty of Engineering and Technology (Exclusively for Women) and faculty of Architecture on the campus of Sharnbasva University here on Tuesday, Ms. Chandanabala said that young graduates should be prepared to work tirelessly to polish and refine their skills continuously as they enter a new world of uncertainties.
“Each day presents an opportunity to learn and grow and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. Keep track of yourself, be mindful of your productivity and seek wisdom from all corners for achieving success in life. Your responsibilities extend beyond personal ambitions. You play a crucial role in the development of our nation and the betterment of society,” she said.
Jyoti Tegnoor in her address said that young graduates passing out of the university should integrate continuing education as part of their life to achieve the desired progress in their academic and professional careers.
“Mere graduation in a particular stream of engineering or management studies will not provide you with a satisfying professional or academic career. The graduates should continue their education for fine-tuning their knowledge and up-scaling their skills in the emerging areas of science and technology,” she said.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence and Data Sciences have, she added, many windows of opportunities and avenues for young graduates to shape their professional and academic careers.
“Artificial Intelligence not only provides opportunities for engineering graduates but it also equips graduates from other faculties such as management, humanities languages and social sciences with essential tools in their respective fields,” she said.
