When I was learning about accounting in classes it was all on paper and theoretical. But when I started my first industry job and my boss told me to go make a journal entry and record transactions in the accounting system, I panicked. I’d never done that. I thought ‘What button do I push and what if I mess it up?’
That fear stuck with me. And it’s why I want my students to walk out of here having used an accounting system to make journal entries and knowing they aren’t going to break the system. I want them to have some confidence walking into their first job.
They also learn big picture things, like how to have an innovative mindset—which is just an ability to adapt to change. This allows them to see how the profession changes, the software changes, the industry changes—and not get stuck in a rut. By using the software—which sometimes updates in the middle of the semester, and doesn't always work the way we think it will—they learn to troubleshoot and adapt to change without getting frustrated.//

“By getting a degree alone, you cannot get a job. One must have skills in their area of education and complete interest on the job they are doing. Most importantly, students must be aware of employability,” said PV Vasanthakumar, convener HR committee, Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on 12 March.//
