INTRODUCTION
Success at the university level comes when the students are able to implement the
methods and techniques which have been taught to them by their teachers. In this way the
students can make sure that they are able to get good marks in the university and build a good
career for themselves. In this way they can get a good job in the future time period. Thus the
students should make a point to follow the instructions which are given to them by the teachers
as the guidance which is provided by them proves to be crucial in attaining success in life.
How and why have the mini project workshops contributed towards the development of your
employability?
Mini project workshops are very important for all the students as with the help of all of
them they can try to improve tehri skills and abilities that can help them to meet the future goals.
If a person is willing to enhance the employability skills then it is very important to make sure
that that individuals take part in all the mini project workshops. If students who are studying in
university are not able to take part in them then it is not possible for them to develop their
employability.
For example, if a mini project workshop is about working on a team project then it will
help to improve the team working skills. The personal who will be the leader of the whole group
can make improvements in the leadership abilities and develop qualities to lead a team
systematically. When the team working and leadership skills will be developed then it can help a
person to develop employability because while working in an organisation individual may have
to lead a team or work in a group to meet the targets. On the other hand, mini workshops and
projects provide live experience to the students to deal with their own weaknesses so that they
can brush up their skills and make improvements in them (Rowe and Zegwaard, 2017).
Another example for the justification on the contribution of mini project workshops
towards development of employability is experiencing difficulties and dealing with them
collaboratively by formulating effective decisions. When a one-day project which is related to
giving presentation on a contemporary issue will be assigned to all the students in class and they
have to work separately for the same. If an individual is not having good IT or presentation skills
the that student will ask the classmates for help and in this situation, they will help each other
which will help them to improve tehri skills of collaborative working. If students will not help

each other then it will be very difficult for them to complete their tasks as everyone have some
weaknesses and some strengths. In order to deal with all the threats and weaknesses it is very
important to take help of other so that they can guide to respond them properly (Suleman, 2018).
From the above discussion it has been determined that mini project workshops are very
beneficial for all the students as with the help of them the employability could be developed.
When tasks in the university will be assigned to the students in groups or individually, they will
be required to take help of each other and complete the work. With the help of it, they can
develop different types of qualities such as decision making, team working, leadership,
collaborative working etc. All these qualities can help to perform all the tasks in future that will
be handled by them while working in an organisation. It can also help to get the desired job
which is the dream of an individual.
MAIN BODY
Success
Success is the achievement of a particular task by a person or an organization when it
seeks out to achieve something (Brouwer and et.al., 2016). For achieving success, a person is
required to do hard work. Without hard work success cannot be achieved. In University, our
teachers told us that we can achieve the desired level of success if we are persistent with our
efforts and display a strong commitment to achieve something. They told us to face hardships in
the way of achieving it because these hardships only make a person mentally stronger to face the
bigger challenges ahead. Therefore in this way a person can make sure to achieve success with
the desired commitment. I have to make sure that I display the commitment required in the future
to achieve success.
