Apart from training in the area of Life Skills, CIR also aids in the preparation for entrance tests for higher learning. This is because not all students wish to take up a placement offer immediately and enter the corporate world. Some of them may wish to pursue higher studies, usually in the fields of engineering or management. These courses could be either in India or abroad. Admission to most such programmes requires performing well in an entrance exam. CIR arranges training for all such exams like GATE, GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, CAT, etc.
Typically, the technical training function does the following:
Many companies, who recruit from Amrita, often send students to other countries for training and projects. They appreciate the fact that CIR goes the extra mile in arranging foreign language training in the campus itself for interested students. CIR offers training in German language. This gives the students a distinct advantage. Likewise, an expert trainer proficient in the Japanese language teaches Japanese to students interested in learning that language. CIR also has access to Alliance Francaise faculty for teaching French. The foreign language experts are handpicked from an array of individuals and institutions. Conducting these courses has been found to be very useful for students joining companies that have international operations.
Students often seek to clarify their career goals while in the campus. Some of them have career goals that need alignment inputs. These are provided by trainers with industry experience. One-on-one interaction sessions are also provided by asking probing questions, reviewing student records and administering specific tests. If required, training is recommended. Students are encouraged to approach CIR faculty, fix appointments and seek career guidance inputs from them. Support includes career assessment, informational career workshops, individual career opportunity mapping (matching career aspirations, market availability and individual competency), career guidance seminars, industry research, company research, networking skills, negotiation techniques and guidance on higher education.
