Mangaluru, Jun 4: Vivek M Alva, managing trustee, Alva’s Education Foundation reported that the annual mass placement drive ‘Alva’s Pragati-2016’, organized by Alva’s Education Foundation (AEF) will be held on July 2 and 3 at the Vidyagiri campus, Moodbidri, Dakshina Kannada."
Addressing a press meet here on June 4, Alva said, "This year Dr B R Shetty, CEO of NMC and UAE Exchange will be inaugurating this event on July 2. AEF has been and is committed to the cause of creating employment opportunities for the rural youth that go unnoticed as they have limited access to employment markets. Year by year we have upgraded this platform to make it more beneficial to the candidates and companies. On June 25 and 26 an orientation for the aspirants will be conducted at Vidyagiri campus, Moodbidri."
"Alva’s Pragati started with 38 companies participating in its first edition. Last year Alva’s Pragati witnessed the participation of 272 companies and over 18,000 job aspirants with more than 5,525 offers rolled out. Throughout the year we have conducted 106 exclusive and pool campus drives and 1043 students have got selected. Almost 400 companies are likely to participate in this year’s Alva’s Pragati. To date, more than 150 companies have confirmed their participation. Hospitality and logistics of all corporates will be hosted and taken care of by AEF. Alva’s Pragati is open not only to students of AEF but also to student aspirants across the country."
"Prominent companies that participated in Alva’s Pragati-2015 included Oracle, EY, IBM, TCS, Amazon, Biocon, Adani group, Titan, ITC, Taj Group, ICICI Bank, Wipro, TVS, AllCargo, Mphasis, Standard Chartered Bank, Axis Bank, MRG group, Kirloskar Electric, Idea Cellular etc. This year will witness more representation of companies from the manufacturing, IT, ITeS, telecom, BFSi, sales and retail, pharma, hospitality, healthcare, education, NGO and defence sectors."
"The main objective of conducting this placement drive is to create opportunities by bringing together jobs and young talent of the aspirants from rural places. Most of these regions lack both opportunities and information about job avenues. This platform was primarily created for the purpose 7 years back."
Vivek Alva also shared some of the observations from the past drives and said, "There are a huge number of opportunities across sectors for graduates from various streams. Companies from sectors like telecom, IT, banking, sales and marketing etc will be hiring graduates from all streams. Vast opportunities are available for hotel management graduates from many premier and star rated hotels, but very less number of candidates with hotel management qualification attend this drive. I request all hotel management graduates to make the best use of the offers at Alva’s Pragati. A good range of opportunities awaits nursing graduates from reputed hospitals in India and Middle-east countries. So we request all nursing graduates to attend Pragati in large numbers. ITI/Diploma candidates are in high demand with all manufacturing companies including those from the automobile sector. This year there are more opportunities available for engineering graduates in sectors like manufacturing and IT."
