The Chandraprabha Saikiani Centre of Women Studies organized an extensive and interactive workshop at CDOE Hall on 11th of March, 2025, for a day-long session of personal and professional development. The event was meticulously designed to provide a holistic experience that integrated career planning with skill enhancement. The day began with a formal felicitation ceremony, during which the Head of the Department of Women Studies honoured the distinguished guest and spokesperson, Srividya Kripakar, whose extensive experience and insights immediately set an inspiring tone for the workshop. This initial acknowledgment underscored the value of mentorship and expertise in shaping academic and career trajectories. Following this, the workshop moved into a thought-provoking career mapping session where students were encouraged to draft detailed five-year career plans. This exercise not only urged them to envision their future but also to identify the skills and milestones necessary to achieve their goals, thereby fostering a sense of purpose and direction. To further enhance collaborative learning, the students were then divided into five groups, each assigned the task of researching and presenting on different career paths. This group activity promoted dynamic discussions and allowed students to appreciate a variety of professional perspectives, thereby broadening their understanding of the diverse opportunities available in their field. After a rejuvenating lunch break, the groups reconvened to share their findings and insights through interactive presentations, reinforcing the importance of effective communication and teamwork. In addition to these activities, the workshop incorporated two personality tests aimed at helping participants gain deeper insights into their personal strengths and preferences, which in turn guided them toward career paths best suited to their individual traits. The day concluded with a highly practical session on creating and optimizing LinkedIn profiles, equipping the students with essential digital networking skills crucial for today’s professional landscape. Overall, the workshop offered a comprehensive platform for learning, self-assessment, and professional growth, ensuring that each student left with not only a clearer understanding of their career aspirations but also a set of actionable strategies to navigate the competitive job market.
