Considering the contemporary changing trends of employment and entrepreneurship scenario of the world and of our country, and the rampant unemployment and under-employment of the youth in our state, the main focus of the Career Development Cell of Sree Chaitanya Mahavidyalaya (SCM CDC) is to promote livelihood of the students and help them get out of mental depression, by way of ensuring their round-the-year active involvement in co-educational curriculum. SCM CDC aims to project the image of the college as a grooming platform for the students to help them achieve necessary skills and leadership qualities to achieve a successful career and a prosperous life.
The Career Development Cell became active during the academic year 2005-06 with the introduction of UGC sponsored Career Oriented Certificate Courses of 30 credits on ‘Tax practice & Procedure’, ‘Advertising & Sales Promotion’ and ‘Office Management & Secretarial Practice’. Gradual development of infrastructure took place in the forms of developing a reading room with career oriented books, opening up of a micro-teaching practice lab equipped with multimedia facilities, a career information centre and a counselling room for the students. Smart class room is used to organize career consciousness programmes and skill development workshops.
To act as a resource centre to inform, counsel and guide the students, helping them to choose most suitable career avenues and help them acquire suitable skill and knowledge.
We project the under-mentioned agenda that can practically be implemented, taking the help of all the distinguished patrons – professional experts and corporate, who are willing to share their valuable knowledge, experience, advice and infrastructure for the benefit of our students.
