Earn a foreign degree in business or IT at OpenArc Campus
OpenArc has been campaigning on the importance of developing a workforce with right competencies to match the prerequisite for the professionals in the modern business world. This article explains why fresh graduates pursuing a degree alone might not successfully secure a high paying job or launch on a fulfilling career. This is because the skills and competencies demanded from fresh graduates cannot be obtained from the classroom teaching even if the students display great enthusiasm in obtaining the highest grades through sheer hard work. The environment in which these skills could be honed is in fact the one that simulates real life work experience while providing fulltime academic studies. The Edexcel HND “Industrial Route” from OpenArc Campus provides “Working by Learning” model which enables stu- dents to excel in academic work while developing work related skills. This Industrial Route at OpenArc Campus could be completed within a total of 24 months and the students could progress to a top-up Degree in Sri Lanka as well as in foreign countries such as; UK, Australia, New Zealand or the US.
Industrial Training was always an essential part of the Higher Education offered at OpenArc Campus from its inception in 1995. In 2013, OpenArc Campus introduced the “Industrial Route” for the Edexcel HND in Computing and Systems Development. Under this programme the students receive theoretical knowledge of the most modern technology pertaining to computer software development and the experience in applying this knowledge with work placement within OpenArc Group.
This year (2014), the Industrial Route is open to Students who want to pursue the Business related studies. These students will be offered short internships throughout the duration of the Edexcel HND in Business with specialization in the sub- streams of HR, Finance and Marketing. The students also are encouraged to take up short internships abroad through the student exchange pogramme of the campus. The “Industrial Route” provides the best of both worlds- academic qualifications and Industry training- at the same time at no additional cost”.
Therefore it is indeed a distinct advantage from the students’ point of view to be Industry ready along with a highly recognized qualification. For the parents who fund or subsidize their children’s higher education, it is a real value-addition to make it possible for them to be work- ready even before the completion of their degree programme at no additional cost. Needless to say, those who complete their HND at OpenArc Campus on the “Industrial Route” have a big advantage over others following conventional routes to a degree. Considering the huge benefits, OpenArc urges all those who are contemplating to pursue higher education to seriously consider its INDUSTRIAL ROUTE to their degree.
