Students need to prepare and equip themselves with pre-requisite skills before entering the corporate world especially corporate social responsibility activities, because most of the companies seek help of such activities. Today employees know their rights and try to be competent. Thus it is the high time for HR executives to think to equip themselves with pre-requisite skills, she advised.
