The Hindu seminar: students told to move beyond comfort zone to excel in career
Experts at a seminar in Guntur advised engineering students to expand their skill sets beyond technical knowledge to succeed in a changing job market. The discussion emphasized adaptability, self-belief, and the strategic use of AI tools.
Why it matters
As AI transforms the workforce, educational institutions are increasingly focusing on soft skills and interdisciplinary learning to prepare students for future careers.
Experts advised students of RVR & JC Engineering College to move beyond their comfort zones and explore opportunities in management and technology to shape careers, at a seminar organised by The Hindu Future India Club (FIC) and SRM University-AP in association with the college on the campus near Guntur on Thursday.
Prof. Satya Duvvuri of Paari School of Business, SRM University-AP, said career success depended on aspirations, choices and learning rather than circumstances.
“Your destiny is in your hands,” he told students, encouraging them to move beyond limitations and create their own paths.
The session opened with a discussion on students’ career plans after graduation. Addressing concerns over unemployment, the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on jobs, communication challenges and uncertainties faced by students from smaller towns, Prof. Duvvuri stressed self-belief, adaptability and learning.
