Why are value-added courses important?

Value-added courses are provided by institutions to bridge the gap between academic needs and industrial needs. With the dynamic industrial demands, value-added courses have become an inevitable part of the curriculum. Value-added courses are tailored to provide necessary skills to increase the employability quotient and equip the students with essential skills to succeed in life. The main purpose of these programs is to prepare the students for practical and professional knowledge with relevant certifications to provide better employment opportunities. The institute offers a bouquet of programs to the students with options to choose from as per their career aspirations.

Objectives of Value-Added courses
• To improve the employability skills of the students.
• To bridge the skill gaps and make students industry-ready.
• To provide an opportunity for students to develop inter-disciplinary skills.
• Provide additional learner-centric graded skill-oriented training.
• To equip students to meet the demands and understand the expectations of the industry.

Why value-added courses?
As improving the employability skills of the students is the priority of value-added courses it has evolved to be the need of the industrial era. Value-added courses are the types of courses that help students to develop their own skills in their chosen field of study. To prepare students to meet the industry demands and aptitudes, develop interests, foster quality learning, and enhance personal growth, value-added courses are important. With the backup of such courses, students will be competent enough to stand apart from the rest in the job market by adding further value to their resumes.

What are skill development and employability?

Have you ever tried to achieve a goal but achieved mediocre results? Have you ever seen other people achieve their goals effortlessly and wondered how they do that? This is where the priority of skill comes in. So, what are skills? To do something well we need skills. Skill is a term that encompasses the knowledge, competencies, and abilities to perform tasks. Thus, the first and foremost step in building a prolific career is finding out and honing the skill suitable for your career. 

Giving time to yourself to understand your skill and develop and improve them can help you become an expert in a specific field. Each individual is unique and each one possesses different skills based on their interests, natural abilities, and personal qualities. Owning more than one skill can help you in expanding your professional competency and allow you to excel in your job. As each skill is different, learning and developing a wide range of skills can help you progress in your career. 

Skill development is the time one invests in to improve their proficiency and to stay future-ready. It is globally considered a key to productive employment. Skill development is generally referred to as the process of acquiring productive capabilities through various levels of training and learning, which may occur in a formal, informal, or on-the-job setting.

What is the importance of learning Value-Added courses along with UG and PG courses?

Value-added courses have become a necessity of the period with the growth of the global economy. Every higher education institution has come forward with a revised curriculum that includes value-added courses to meet the never-ending demands of the industry. The value-added program is introduced for the holistic development of students through
academic flexibility. These courses have been aimed to create a platform for students to explore and realize their potential to the fullest capacity.

New trends in technical and professional education call for value addition along with UG or PG programs. That is, students must acquire something more than what is provided in the curriculum. JBI Academy offers a wide variety of value-added courses that gears the career of the students. Along with UG and PG courses, every student will get a chance to study multitudes of value-added courses like Aviation, Travel & Tourism, Banking, Logistics, Digital Marketing, and so on. Each course under the academy is crafted according to its relevance. These courses are conducted by professionals and industry experts and help students stand apart from the rest in the job market by adding further value to their resumes.

Completing a mere graduation or post-graduation program will make your journey in search of a promised career burdensome. This industrial era demands more and more skilled employees who can excel in their field. Thus, make sure that you are ready to be fitted with the industrial demands. There should not be a turning back and for that, your UG or PG program should be fuelled by a value-added course. Choose the best for your better future.

What is the difference between studying skill-oriented value-added courses at university-affiliated colleges and institutions?

Particularly this era which demands more professionalism from students also calls for valueadded courses along with graduate or post-graduate programs. Value-added courses are skilloriented courses. We could find many organizations that provide such courses to meet the industrial demands. As a majority of educational sectors prioritize value addition to their normal graduate or post-graduate programs, students are left with a plethora of career options to choose from. This scenario also bid them choose the best among these organizations.

One could find both institutions and university-affiliated colleges providing value-added courses. Normally many institutes provide value-added courses with a duration of 3 months or 6 months. Such institutes put forward the motto of achieving a successful career within a limited schedule. But there are cases where such institutes are not able to provide valid professional certificates for the students completing their courses and outstanding in their preferred field. Students passing out from institutes that offer short-term courses find it difficult to secure a job as their certificates appear to be far from the validity standards.

Here is where colleges that provide value-added courses with 3 years degree programs stand apart from these institutions. JBI Academy is an educational organization that provides value-added courses with a duration of one and a half years which offers a meticulous study of value-added courses. Here every student gets an opportunity to complete the courses like Aviation and Logistics with meeting all the industrial demands. It’s not just completing the course, it’s all about achieving a secured career through these courses. Not being employed even after the completion of value-added courses is awful. Thus, choosing the right place to study is vital to accomplish a lucrative career. 

What are the job opportunities in studying value-added courses?

Everyone pursues some courses to have a better career. Being employed is one of our major concerns. This makes job-oriented courses more attractive and in vogue. Value-added courses are thus on top of the list. The value-added courses increase the employability quotient of every student enrolled with them. A secured job is guaranteed by these courses.
We all may have a dream job and the value-added courses provide wings for our dream jobs.

Value-added courses like Aviation, Logistics, Digital Marketing, Forensic Accounting, and so on, ensure not only a flamboyant career and also a recognized position in society. Students get a huge opportunity to be trained by professionals and industry experts in respected fields. This will enable students to gain in-depth knowledge about the course they are enrolled in and will increase their skills and thus employability. Pursuing a career path is not only the attraction of these courses, students also get huge opportunities to pursue multiple options in higher education. Both private and government sectors provide a horizon of career opportunities for students graduating with a value-added course. Always studying such a course will add extra credit to your resume, which will make you more flexible in the job sector. And that flexibility is what is preferred by the booming industrial sector of this era.

Thus, value-added courses are job-oriented programs that ensure lucrative career opportunities for all enrolled. Those who complete this graduate program with a value-added course will stand out from the normal norms of job sectors and will be able to set new challenges in their chosen fields. If you are skilled then the whole industrial world will come
to you. Value-added courses even provide strength to every individual to stand by themselves and start a new career path all by themselves. It will make you feel confident in your skills and believe in yourself and fight for the endless skies of opportunities.

Is an education loan available for studying value-added courses?

Education is one of the basic needs of every citizen. Compulsory education is being imparted by the governments to provide basic education to all. Education acquaints a person with knowledge of the world around him and beyond. Financial barriers must not stop one from gaining knowledge. Opting for an education loan reduces the strain on your family savings. Education loan facilitates a student to complete their education even if they are unable to afford it at present. By keeping in consideration, the future earning potential of an educated individual will help them live up to their true potential. For most loans, you need to start paying back immediately, but considering an education loan is based on future earnings, thus allowing for flexible repayment options making it easier for students to pay back the loan themselves once they get a job. The low-interest rates of education loans help students from different strands of society even the unprivileged classes to pursue the finest education and gain a lucrative career.

Normally students are provided with education loans for their degree courses. Under JBI Academy students can pursue a degree with advanced courses or value-added courses. These
courses are covered by the education loan policies. Thus, students get the opportunity to study any advanced professional course without any financial liabilities. Every student will feel free and can come up with their best potential without any financial tensions to bother.

Why do value-added courses get prominence in this era?

No university curriculum can adequately cover all areas of importance or relevance. Higher education institutions need to supplement the curriculum to make students better prepared to
meet industry demands as well as develop their interests and aptitudes. Value-added courses get momentum in this era as it is job-guaranteed courses that will take you to the job you
dream of. The world is evolving day by day into a huge platform of career opportunities and every student must be ready to face the challenges it sets forth.

Value-added courses are tailored as skill development courses. These courses ensure that adequate skills are imparted to all the students to meet the job market. Studies show that effective, sustainable approaches to workforce development and employment must improve a combination of skills for employability of individuals, and at the same time build a sustainable system for improved private-sector competitiveness. Especially, youth unemployment resulting from a mismatch between the supply of the education system and labour market needs could in part be addressed through adequate skills development within a future-oriented, flexible and holistic education system for lifelong learning. Thus, to meet the major crisis of the country which is unemployment, the value-added courses should be in circulation. All educational organizations should be bound to provide skill-based courses, thus, increasing the employability quotient of every individual.
