Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India – Business Wire India

Venster School of Excellence recently held a Faculty Skills Enrichment Conclave in Coimbatore, bringing together educators, industry professionals, and technology experts to discuss how academic institutions can better prepare students for the evolving job market. The event provided a platform for meaningful interaction between faculty members and professionals from technology-driven industries.

The conclave focused on helping educators understand industry expectations and guiding students toward careers requiring both technical knowledge and practical skills. Faculty from several colleges participated, along with chief guests actively working in technology businesses and industry sectors.

Educationist JP Gandhi noted, “The global employment landscape is changing rapidly, driven by economic uncertainties, technological disruption, and the rise of artificial intelligence. Organisations across the world are restructuring and redefining skill requirements in response to digital transformation.” He further added, “In this challenging environment, institutions must actively partner with leading skill developers like VENSTER to transform students into industry-ready and employable professionals.”

Managing Director of Haribhavanam Hotels, Mr. Balachandar Raju, said at the conclave, “We implemented technology in our KOT systems over a decade ago after I witnessed its effectiveness in overseas restaurants. That experience made me clearly understand the importance of technology in the hospitality industry.

Students today must equip themselves with these skills without excuses. There is a common misconception that technology is not essential for hotels, but in the modern era, it has significantly simplified operations and enhanced efficiency across the food business.”

Educationist Shandhip Sabapathy shared an inspiring and thought-provoking story that deeply resonated with the participants. His narrative centred on hope and resilience in the midst of a challenging recessionary environment, where companies are increasingly restructuring, downsizing unskilled resources, and adopting artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency.

Experts noted that while traditional roles are evolving, opportunities are growing in data analytics, data science, and business analytics. This has increased demand for skilled professionals, leading students to pursue programmes such as a data analytics course in Coimbatore, a data analyst course with placement, and data science training in Coimbatore. Chief guests shared insights on the use of technology tools, analytics platforms, and enterprise systems in real-world operations, helping faculty align teaching with industry practices.
