Mini project workshops contribution towards development of employability
Acquiring skills are very important for me and other people as well it make further career
more powerful and stronger (Kalam and Hamdan, 2018). People always seek to obtain new skills
and improve the existing one for better career in future. Significance of skills acquisition
includes diverse job chances, effective function, self employment and employment generation. It
can be said that acquiring new skills is a habit that aids in profession and career. It can be a
communication, group work, resume writing, SWOT analysis and time management skills. All
these skills I will required for my further employability after completing academic years.
