A New year , New Dreams

Hi Everyone,

We just finished with our 2015 Summer Internship Training Program and I am proud to tell you all that we at Parvatibai Chowgule College of Arts and Science  had reached our target of providing 100 Internship Training Opportunities to our students. There were 110Sumer Internship Training opportunities to be precise.

All the students had a great learning experience, whether it was a pharmaceutical company, online social media marketing or working with NGOS. They also reported weekly through the weekly reporting form provide by College.

We want to encourage students work with NGOS and other organizations who are doing some good work in Goa in Social Development and such an experience can be very rewarding when you finish your college. It stands out as a very unique experience in personality building and can be a differentiating factor in a  job interview in near future as for most of the Organizations it is mandatory to do activities as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility and having smart new recruits which are socially sensitive is a bonus for such organizations. 

I take pride in mentioning to you that there were 10 students who applied  to work for a Social cause , for e.g working with reading promotion at Bookworm ,  Supporting underprivileged women and kids at Tara Trust or spreading smiles with specially abled children at  Atmavishwas We had only 2 students who applied last year compared to the 10 this year. 


However, only 64 students  applied and got through the selection process. This is only a 26% rise in applicants compared to last years 51 students. We had many opportunities working in Print media like the Internships with Magazines like Planet Goa, Goa Prism , and news papers like  Times of India at Panjim . There were also multiple opportunities to work with IT Start ups in online marketing and blogging and couple of opportunities in editing to work in area of self publishing at Margao and Verna. 

But students did not cash on the opportunities and hence it was a little disappointing.

From this Year 2015-16 with Parvatibai Chowgule College as the Only Autonomous College affiliated to Goa University, the students will be rewarded with 4 credits for opting for Internship Trainings.

The aim is to provide Internship Training to all the students joining first year from June 2015, But we want students to come to us and tell us what are the areas they are interested in.

We want more support from you students to to work towards making this new Dream Successful.

Lots of wishes

Vasant
