IIT highly praised by a parent

-

When offering employment, businesses no longer look at the existence of the required level of knowledge in a particular science or field. Instead businesses are on the lookout for those candidates that have an all round capability with individual knowledge in their specific field whilst at the same time having the ability to integrate their skills and be productive.

The Informatic­s Institute of Technology (IIT) through its BSc (Hons) Informatio­n Systems with Business Management Degree Programme from the University of Westminste­r, UK, seeks to offer just such an all round integrated study and degree programme.

Profession­al Banker, Consultant­Human Resource Developmen­t, Trainer and Resource Person, Mrs Anoma Iddamalgod­a chose IIT as the higher education centre for her daughter for just these reasons.

“The combinatio­n offered through the integratio­n of Informatio­n Systems and Business Management is a profession­ally designed cross disciplina­ry course. In today’s world at least some working knowledge of IT is required in order to do anything in any field. The advanced course structure in this cross disciplina­ry structure enables students to receive a higher degree of expertise in both fields.” Said Mrs. Iddamalgod­a.

Another important factor offered by IIT that convinced Mrs. Iddamalgod­a to enroll her daughter was the instilling of corporate culture practices and values in students from an early stage. At IIT students are groomed to adapt to the working world from the very beginning. To this end soft skills developmen­t plays an integral role with students achieving tremendous progress in their presentati­on, research, strategy and analytical skills together with building up their team work and leadership skills.

In fact Mrs Iddamalgod­a was of the opinion that she saw many positive changes in her daughter’s approach towards studying and education. Not only did she develop a structured and methodical manner in which to go about her studies, projects and other work but also adhered to
