Re: [MTC Global] Req for suggetion regarding Training & Placement Officer.

Well...indeed it is a dual responsibility that most Management B-Schools want to impose on a Placement person but not without the logic as we are in touch with Corporates and understand the qualities which HR's look for in candidates...it is easier for the Placement person to mentor and guide the candidates accordingly.

My own observation through my experience says: During a Placement process ( external) if I am there with the group of students sitting for selection, the % of selection goes up.Each candidate who comes out shares how the process went and any area where he got stuck, I guide him and others who throng around as to what would be the correct response to the querry....and to be alert for any googlies which may catch them unawares. In our Institute One Lecture every week is devoted for CRC ( Corporate Resource Cell - of which we are the Placement Group )....and we share with the students the current changing trends, the new emerging sectors offering better opportunities, besides putting them through the mock GD, P.I. sessions to prepare them for Corporate processes.
In my view...Training & Placement...Go Hand in Hand.
