One of the many fascinating aspects of the training conducted at A.PS. polytechnic college, was the boldness of the girls there. It was pretty amazing how we had to actually coax, cajole and sometimes force the boys onto the stage, but the girls on the other hand were quite the opposite. It is usually the other way around in most colleges.And this was, but only one of the many surprising things which we experienced in this institution.
This was the first time we were conducting a course for diploma students. The college being the Alma-mater of one of the Adhyapana members, made the course very special.
APS polytechnic is a government aided college, wherein you get to meet people from all walks of life.The campus is situated about 25-30 km from Bangalore on the Kanakpura main road.The college has old stone buildings set in the midst of greenery.
The course was organized by the teachers, who felt that a soft skills course would hugely benefit their students.On their recommendation ,we decided to conduct a soft skills course along with an introductory session on Blue tooth.
We were told that around 50 students would attend the session. When we went into the seminar hall, there were hardly 10 students. Slowly the hall started filling up. At the end of the session, we found out that actually 90 students had attended the session, almost double our estimate!!
There was a formal inauguration, followed by speeches by the principal and a welcome address.
The atmosphere was festive and the students were excited about the course. Arrangements were made for tea, lunch and snacks.
The course as such was a big success.We had heated discussions as a part of the Group discussions, sessions on resume writing and effective communication. The students actively participated in all the activities.However they seem to like the games the best.
On the whole we had a wonderful time and are looking forward for our next course at APS. W e shall upload the feedback details and comments as a part of the next blog.
