Now-a-days Industrial Training has become an essential part for the completion of various degree courses. The experience you get from training gives your career a smooth start. Hours and hours in the classroom and the library only take you so far with minimum practical knowledge – nothing can be compared to hands-on training. So, various MNC’s and IT Companies provide training in various fields. It is not that the trainee works on a project only, rather he/she is made to do certain tasks so as to make him/her experience the true taste of corporate world.
When students enter their training period, majority of them consider it as a time to enjoy and have fun but there are still students who take it as the right time to break the ice and achieve something. Industrial Training is bound with various myths and facts, which at a point may hamper the growth of an individual directly or indirectly. Our goal is to dispel the common myths, and shed light on the truth behind them.
Myth: Training time- Time to enjoy life, Golden Period of Life: No studies, No Tension.
Fact: No doubt training time is the golden period of life, but only if it is utilized in learning and gaining knowledge. One should enjoy the work, and gain the best. One should find enjoyment in the work rather than enjoy by not doing the work because if one does so he/she repents in the near future. Ignoring/avoiding the work in the training period leads to tears in the eyes in the future.
Myth: A trainee should always go for training in some selected IT Companies only.
Fact: It doesn’t matter from which IT Company you pursue your training, what matters is that how efficiently you attain and sustain your learning. The name and size of the company doesn’t matter what matters is how much you learn and add to your knowledge by pursuing the training.
Myth: Why paid training?
Fact: The trend of paid training has set up a huge market in manufacturing proficient technocrats. Proper training is must to groom an individual into a professional techie. Nothing is free in this world, and hence not even learning. In paid training you are taught from core to the shield. If you are capable enough, some companies even hire trainees as interns and pay them the stipend on the basis of their performance.
Myth: Students prefer to go to training in Metropolitan cities.
Fact: If a Company A has a branch in some metropolitan city and has some other branch in some XYZ small city, it doesn’t matter from which branch you do your training, because the company is same. All what matters is your performance. One has to start from the base to reach the top. Pursuing training from a company in a metropolitan city doesn’t add something extra compared to training in the small town because the area doesn’t add anything to your training all what adds is your effort and hard work.
Myth: Attending some 6 months IT course in some institute and working on some project is Industrial Training.
Fact: Just attending a course for 6 months in some XYZ institute and working on a project is not a true training. Like we need a fixed temperature to cook food, the same way we need professional environment to generate professional techies.One can find these institutes like shops in the market and these institutes no doubt teach you the course but they don’t train you as desired by the corporate world and don’t transform you into a ready to work professional.
Myth: Once I have got the tag that I did my training in some MNC, I’ll surely get the job.
Fact: Training period plays a major role in getting a job, not the company from where u pursued your training but the output that was generated at the end. Your professionalism, responsibility and dedication towards your work get you a job. How you have transformed as an individual into a professional techno actually helps you to get the job.
Myth: Training as a burden, doing it for just marks and grades.
Fact: As training has been made a compulsory part of various degree courseworks, the pressure of getting marks and grades is quite natural, but considering it to be a burden is wrong, because this experience can help us overcome various hurdles and minimize burdens that follow when we are employed in a professional atmosphere.
Myth: One can work his/her own way, in the way he/she wants to.
Fact: An individual should work according to the norms and terms of the company in a very responsible manner. It not only helps him/her learn and adjust in a professional atmosphere but also contribute in building a good impression and relations in the corporate world.
The expectations and demands of the corporate world nowadays are very specific. They look for the best. The challenge for IT Training Industry is to employ the amazing new technocrats in a very open and progressive work culture and in a way that lets them express their full passion for their work and interest.
