Skill Development Initiative Aims to Boost Employability for Final-Year Students
Bengaluru: Rotary Bangalore Prime has partnered with APS College of Commerce to launch the Kaushal Project, a skill development program for final-year students of B.Com, BCA, and BBM. The program, held at the Prof. N. Ananthachar Auditorium on November 12, will provide 70-80 hours of training in Tally, GST, MS Office, PPT, and soft skills, equipping students with practical knowledge essential for job readiness after graduation.
The Kaushal Project aligns with Rotary Bangalore Prime’s ongoing efforts to support educational institutions by delivering practical training sessions. Over the last five years, this initiative has enabled hundreds of students to gain valuable skills and enhance their employability, with many securing jobs as a direct result of their training.
During the event, Dr. Vishnu Bharath Alampalli, President of APS Educational Trust (APSET), underscored the need for skill-based training to prepare students for a competitive job market. He encouraged students to embrace such learning opportunities to stay current with industry demands and highlighted that hands-on experience with tools like Tally and MS Office can provide a substantial career advantage.
In his address, Dr. Alampalli also emphasized APSET's mission to develop well-rounded graduates who are equipped with both academic and professional skills. He cited APS College of Engineering's advanced facilities, including 3D Printing, Robotic, and VLSI labs, as examples of the institution’s commitment to a forward-thinking educational approach.
Rotary Bangalore Prime’s Kaushal Project reflects this shared vision, with the launch attended by notable figures such as CA Rtn. Harish V S, President-RBP, Rtn. Anand Ramachandra, District Vocational Director, and CA Rtn. Chetan Venugopal, Chairman of Vocational Services-RBP.
Established in 1935, APS Educational Trust operates campuses in N.R. Colony and Kanakapura Road, serving over 6,000 students across various levels from kindergarten to postgraduate studies.
