In the last article, we talked about recruiting interns for some projects during their one / two month internship project. This would keep you in touch with some college teachers & professors. You can have your contact with Diploma, Engineering or MBA colleges. In fact, it is good if you have your network with a couple of colleges where students can come down to your factory for some industrial visit to get a real life experience with how industries work. The students are excited to see have first hand experience. You can also have some internship or summer project opportunities for students. You can invite students / professors with their own projects or you can have your own projects which these students might do. These students also have a final year project and it is considered good if they do it with some industry. When students do some project with your company, they will take your name in their college. This would make your name known to the students along with what you do.
You never know when these students will come back in contact with you. It might be after a few years when they are looking for job or they are in either supplier or customer team. The connection with colleges can also come in handy in case you need some raw talent for new job at your factory. There are sandwich course opportunities wherein students could spend 6 months to a year with your company learning things. When you need man power, you can also put a word to these professors so that they can tell some of their students about the vacancy.
From your side, you can also go for some guest lectures or as an external examiner for some of their oral exams. This will just create a bond and network with colleges and teachers / professors. After all, these very students are the future generation who will be a part of Make In India campaign. You need to guide these students.
