The conclave was moderated by Nilotpal Boruah, CEO of TechVariable and Antara Saikia Vauquline, HR Manager at TechVariable
TechVariable, an IT services and consulting company, hosted a Training and Placement Conclave – Pragmatic, on 18 February 2023 at its Head office in Chandmari, Guwahati.
TechVariable is associated with the various processes of recruitment through campus placements, direct applications and referrals. During the process, it was discovered that there is a discrepancy between the college curriculum and the necessary industry standards, which accounts for the extraordinarily low selection rate of applicants for TechVariable interviews. With the goal to uplift and upskill the students the Training and Placement Conclave was organised where incharges of training and placement from colleges in Assam, as well as a select few from the industry, were invited to offer their perspective and training so that the attendees can have the best of both worlds.
The student coordinators and placement secretaries of the higher educational institutions were also present, along with the professor in charge of training and placement, to discuss their thoughts on and pain points related to the recent placement scenario, as well as their goals for a career in IT. The company has set plans to work with all of the training and placement cells of all the institutions in Assam and Northeast.
Post the conclave, the firm is planning to host intra- and inter-college hackathons, online and offline coding workshops, personal coding assessments, one-on-one mentoring sessions with senior technologists, guidance sessions on working with new age technologies and a variety of sessions to help the students understand the importance of improving their interpersonal and technical skills.
