Employability and Corporate Training Section

Preparing Women for Purposeful Careers in a Shifting World

At CTTE College, the emphasis on academic rigor is accompanied by an equally intentional focus on employability. The Employability and Corporate Training Section functions as an enabling space—where academic learning, personal development, and professional readiness converge to shape confident, career-oriented graduates. Over the years, this Section has evolved into a vital arm of the college’s student progression strategy, quietly strengthening the link between campus and career.

A Continuum of Preparation, Not a One-Time Event

Rooted in the understanding that career development is an ongoing process—not a final-year intervention—the Section supports students as early as their second year, guiding them through structured skill-building modules, workshops, and mentoring. Its role is not merely to facilitate recruitment but to cultivate clarity, adaptability, and ambition in each student.

Placement Training: A Strategic Approach

In keeping with industry shifts and global hiring expectations, the Placement Training Programme is designed to offer far more than interview preparation. Delivered across multiple formats, it addresses:

  • Higher education awareness: including postgraduate options, scholarships, and application guidance
  • Emerging career pathways: with special attention to new-age roles in tech and service sectors
  • HR trends and recruitment practices: including ATS, virtual assessments, and remote onboarding
  • Skill mapping and goal setting: helping students align strengths with sectoral opportunities
  • Soft skill development: including public speaking, workplace communication, and resume design

Hands-on methodologies such as mock interviews, group discussions, case-based debates, and expert panels enhance the learning process. Training is supported by ICT AcademyInfosys Foundation, and alumnae from firms like AccentureDell, and Cognizant.

Innovations in Practice

The Section incorporates several contemporary practices to ensure relevance:

  • AI-integrated CV optimization
  • Career profiling through psychometric tools
  • Hackathons, aptitude tests, and LinkedIn branding workshops
  • Digital career portfolios and certification support by certified bodies

These innovations are designed to build both domain confidence and transferable skills—preparing students not just for first jobs, but for lifelong employability.

Industry Connectivity and Placement Outcomes

CTTE College’s placement ecosystem reflects long-standing relationships with companies such as TCSAccentureWiproCapgeminiHCLTech MahindraICICI PrudentialSutherlandOmega Healthcare, Bank Bazar, HDB Financial Services, Technosoft and Magic Bus.

Ongoing Engagement and Future Direction

The Section is also actively engaged in:

  • Coordinating with industry bodies and CSR arms (e.g., Infosys, Honeywell, CPCL)
  • Hosting career orientation programmes with global and national institutions
  • Nominating faculty for FDPs and involving alumni in mentoring and panel discussions

As placement shifts toward continuous readiness and portfolio-based evaluations, the Section is currently streamlining data systems to enable AI-supported career tracking, alumni outcomes reporting, and employer feedback loops—enhancing accountability and alignment with NAAC and NIRF frameworks.

The Employability and Corporate Training Section is not a peripheral service, but a central feature of CTTE’s commitment to student development. It reflects the college’s belief that education must lead not only to knowledge but also to participation—to futures that are both self-chosen and socially meaningful.
