The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) through its Students Skills Enrichment Board (SSEB) is taking various initiatives with the prime objective to develop the requisite Skill Set for budding Chartered Accountants and Enrichment of their Professional Skills. In yet another path-breaking initiative, the Institute launched Article Placement & Industrial Training Portal, a platform to provide an opportunity for both students and companies to interact with each other for selection of company vis-a-vis students.
CA. Atul Kumar Gupta, President, ICAI launched the Industrial training portal through a live webinar on June 14th witnessed by approx. 24,000 students. During the webinar, Mr. Sanjay Rughani, Chairman, Professional Accountants in Business Committee of IFAC and CEO, Standard Chartered Bank, Tanzania was the Guest of Honour and webinar was also graced by CA. Nihar Niranjan Jambusaria, Vice-President, ICAI; CA. Jay Chhatra, Chairman, SSEB & CA. Pramod Kumar Boob, Vice-Chairman, SSEB.
CA. Atul Kumar Gupta, President, ICAI on the occasion said“ The students should focus on Skill Building with specialization in one area to achieve success in their life, irrespective of the fact whether they belong to small towns, villages or the metro cities. There are equal opportunities for all of them and they can certainly attain the pinnacle of success in their lives if they have the right attitude in life, as it is rightly said that, “To reach a greater altitude in life, the right attitude is important rather than aptitude”.
President, ICAI further added that “ Industrial exposure is very much important for a student to move ahead in his / her dream of becoming a CEO from CFO of a company. Today, the industries need an all-round personality which is in true sense can become the business solution provider.”
The Portal will showcase the number of students eligible for enrolment as well as members available for imparting training to them. It will also show the details of companies registered, region-wise, specialization-wise, and number of vacancies available. The portal will intimate the students well in advance through the system, about their eligibility for industrial training via emails/SMS. At the same time, the portal will give online approval to industries who intend to impart industrial training to CA aspirants as per our Chartered Accountants Regulations.
The Students Skills Enrichment Board (SSEB) of ICAI also imparts practical education and training through Information Technology and Soft Skills training to the students undergoing the Chartered Accountancy Course. The Board organizes various students’ related activities like – webinars, conferences, seminars, co-curricular activities, etc. for developing and enriching personality, leadership qualities, and communication skills of our students.
