Rarely do colleges have short-term certificate courses, on campus, for students to enhance their skills. NT KURIOCITY asked the Goan youth whether colleges should have pocket-friendly, short-term certificate courses<\/p>\n

Apart from regular college syllabus, colleges have to offer short-term certificate courses. It\u2019s always wonderful to acquire knowledge and learn new things. A certificate programme can give students a platform to improve their talents, facilitate continuous learning and help them make an appropriate career choice, improving their skills, developing new ideas and innovation. Having a certificate is vital and of a great value also to acquire a job since it can be included in the resume. <\/p>\n

In order to keep up with today\u2019s world one needs to develop additional skills and knowledge along with academics. A lot of students lag behind as they do not have professional communication skills. Some do have interests but they either have financial problems or the courses are inaccessible. I think it is a must for students as it develops one\u2019s interpersonal skills and adds to their resumes.<\/p>\n

I would say short-term courses are needed because after students finish with college they waste their time thinking about where to go and what to do. The introduction of short-term courses would help students showcase their talents and help them realise their potential, which will lead to them beginning with their careers. However, I also feel that this would affect their regular studies and make it difficult to manage time as well. Theory provides knowledge but practical work helps students grow in their career. <\/p>\n

According to me, students should have certificate courses at affordable prices since it can help them acquire new skills that can come in handy for the future. Having such courses in the college makes it easier to balance studies and activities. Such courses will also help students explore their interests and figure out what they\u2019re good at, thus helping them build a better future.<\/p>\n

Short- term courses would enable all students to discover and display their talents, skills creativity, etc. These courses also provide a valuable opportunity to test one\u2019s interests and give one the best chance of finding the direction one wants to head in. It would bring a change from hectic college schedules and it would be a learning platform with a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

To survive in today\u2019s competitive world we must gather as much knowledge as we can. As I\u2019m an engineering student I can see that there are a lot of things other than technical knowledge that are required while working in an industry. Colleges must keep short-term certificate courses for students so that they can bridge the gap between industry and academics. These short-term certificate courses also act as an added advantage in resumes. Courses to develop communication skills are highly essential but all of this must be provided at a nominal charge so that all the students can take advantage of it.<\/p>\n

Short-term courses are really helpful in the long run. In fact now it\u2019s become like an important requirement when one goes in search of jobs. It is these skills that an employer looks for. However these courses by private sectors are quite expensive. So, yes, if colleges affiliated to Goa University start with these courses at affordable prices then it would help students who aspire to enhance their skills especially in fields where youngsters can opt for self-employment. In fact, these should be included in the degree course syllabus.<\/p>\n
