Vizianagaram: SITAM College’s Department of Management Studies organised a career orientation course aimed at inspiring students and guiding them toward a better future.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr S Rajani, the former Director of Gayatri Vidya Parishad, emphasised that in a world where industries are evolving rapidly, academic degrees should be supplemented with certifications that demonstrate real-world competencies. “Certifications are not just add-ons; they are catalysts that showcase your initiative, specialisation, and readiness to face challenges in the professional world,” she remarked.

The session saw enthusiastic participation from both faculty and students. Students expressed that the session provided them with clear direction and practical insights into how certifications can open doors to new opportunities.
