Students receive information in school and college, where they get to 'know.
This education makes more aware, but not necessarily capable, which is what the employer wants.
Trainees want abilities and attitudes, which contribute to skills, if the tasks are repeated.
Is information may be part of the training? May be. But, the busy employer is concerned more about the potential employee's skills than about his education. That is, he values skilled action more than education.
In recruitment season, students are not employable, because they lack the skills at that time - although some are 'employed', i.e. admitted to a firm, after which they are trained and socialised to work as desired.
Students will not appreciate any content - guest lectures and workshops - that does not make him employable. Perhaps, institutes should conduct a survey with their students, ascertain the reasons for their perceived lack of interest, and ask for their suggestions as to how to make them attend. Our real objectives should be (3) to increase their employability; (2) to understand whether being a better student (more information in diverse forms?) would make him more employable; and (1) to ascertain what the student wants: knowledge and its delivery, or employability? More surveys? Yes!
Best wishes.

We shall continue to debate on this issue as long as we do not appreciate the difference between 'education' and 'training'.
The 'student' is neither an 'apprentice', nor an 'understudy', nor a 'mentee', nor an 'intern'.
Beyond the normal principles of 'goal-setting' and 'reinforcement' there are few similarities between educating a student and training an athlete. If we are 'TRAINING" a student, pedagogical principles would be the same: Setting S.M.A.R.T goals; Modelling; Grand visualization of future; Continuous feedback & corrective coaching; Incentivisation through expansion of self-efficacy and purpose; and Development of values to keep cool under duress or success.The 'student' is neither an 'apprentice', nor an 'understudy', nor a 'mentee', nor an 'intern'.

While we all discuss as to how to improve the employability of the student. We need to address the issue viz. Is the student interested in putting the necessary efforts from his side.
We need to address this issue. Typically for e.g. Students are not interested in guest lectures and /or workshops conducted by leading industry persons. They need to be incentivized to attend these sessions

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Secrets to being a better studentThis is the real challenge for a Leader in the academia today.We can choose the best practices from IIMs,IITs, NITs & many other institutions and CUSTOMIZE them to suit our local needs depending on the kind of students ,institutional vision,availability of funds etclots of examples around us.For the teaching ,learning methodology & pedagogy, to achieve this, We haveso in any good institute, the efforts are made through curricular,co-curricular and extra-curricular activities to achieve both the objectives .Educational Institutions, particularly professional & tertiary education ones are entrusted with doing both.Training is a process of preparing an individual for performing a specific task.i second the opinion by Dr. P H Waghodekar.Education helps in overall development of an individual.Prepares an individual for life and help him/her live in harmony with the environment .

No.
Student is not a trainee nor teacher a coach. Training pertains to developing skill in a certain narrow field to churn out trainee as expert in the field concerned. A group of trainees is homogeneous one namely they are charged with a common goal acquiring skill in a certain area say a turner, pattern maker,runner, long jump, disc throw, etc.
Whereas students come from different background, not necessarily having a common goal nor homogeneous inputs, save to pass through a certain exam. The outcomes of education are different surfacing at the end of one generation whereas training is expected to give desired performance in a related field in a short span.______________________________________________________________
