Don Bosco Polytechnic College, Thirukazhukundram, launched the Shadowing Program to equip pre-final year students with real-world exposure and industry-relevant skills. Designed as an Industry-Oriented Skill Bridging Initiative, this program involved 50 pre-final year students (including 6 girl trainees) from Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, and Computer departments.

Through a structured blend of technical training, interdisciplinary learning, and workplace observation, students gain first-hand experience in professional environments. They learn about industrial tools, teamwork, safety practices, and communication standards that define successful careers.

The initiative emphasizes hands-on learning beyond classrooms, encouraging students to connect theory with practical applications. Weekly monitoring and mentor feedback ensure continuous growth and engagement.

Highlights

• Strengthens industry-academia linkage through experiential learning.

• Encourages cross-department collaboration and multi-skill development.

• Builds confidence, teamwork, and professional discipline.

• Prepares students for internships, employment, and entrepreneurship opportunities.

This program marks another milestone in the institution’s ongoing efforts to empower rural youth with employability skills and industry readiness — transforming classrooms into gateways for real-world success.
