FLAG 2015 offered by
EmployabilityBridge in association CII held its third event for this year today
at SSM Institute of Engineering and Technology with overwhelming response from
students and companies. FLAG 2015 received response from over 950 students
while leading companies made over 126 offers and shortlisted other eligible
students for next level interviews.
The 3rd FLAG 2015 event for this year had
participation of companies from multiple industries including manufacturing, IT,
software development, ITES and Telecommunication. The companies were hiring for
openings in cities across India.
Reliance, Saint Gobian, Mindtree, SAFE Software &
Integrated Solutions and Soundarya Decorators were the companies that participated
and they were enthused by the response from colleges and students for the FLAG
2015. Looking at the good response, eagerness and performance of the students companies
said FLAG by EmployabilityBridge is a one stop-solution to meet our r campus
hiring requirements. It also
communicates that good candidates were spread across tier-2/tier-3 cities and not
just only in well established institutions in Tier -1 cities.
Commenting on the program Emmanuel Justus, CEO,
EmployabilityBridge said that “FLAG is a
series of intelligent graduate hiring events offered by EmployabilityBridge in association
with CII to ease the hiring process for the leading corporate and they were
able to meet students from 47 colleges from smaller cities across the state
today. We were delighted to see the eligible candidates get access to
opportunities with some of the India’s leading companies. We appreciate the
interest by the companies and colleges for FLAG.”
“70%
of the colleges in India from tier II tier II cities provide opportunities for
the students to graduate; many first generation graduates. But is all the
eligible students get access to better job opportunities? No. Few institutions from
bigger cities have access to corporate for campus placements. While the others
have minimal or no access with the corporate for placement. This restricts the
right opportunity for the right candidate merely for a reason he/she is from smaller
cities. EmployabilityBridge addresses this issue by aggregating colleges and
corporate.” he added.
Dr Rohini Sridhar, Chairperson, CII Madurai zone said that “Southern region of Tamilnadu has many colleges
with good infrastructure facilities and qualified faculties. It gives out many technically
qualified candidates to the industry every year. Our students are also well equipped
with technical knowledge and other qualities required by the industry and are
ready to work hard if opportunity provided. But
due to lack of awareness both among the students on job availability and among
the companies about the institutions the good opportunities are being missed.
But events like FLAG play an important role in bridging the gap and empowering
the students.”
Ambalavanan, CTO, EmployabilityBridge
said “(request you to add your quote).””Our technology platform – www.employabilitybridge.com plays a critical role in
our FLAG event by enabling students and companies to pre-select whom they want to meet and for the smooth execution of the
FLAG event in organized manner. Our technology platform also supports students
with corporate interaction & preparing for success in their first job till
they go and join the company “
Dr.R.Chandran, Campus Director, SSM
Institute of Engineering and Technology said that “SSMIET
is happy to host the students from colleges across the state. This is our first
year of association with EmployabilityBridge and we are proud to host the third
FLAG for 2015. FLAG is really a good opportunity for the students to get access
to leading companies across the country. We are happy and confident that our
students will fulfill the expectations of the recruiters and excels. I wish more corporate should take part in the upcoming FLAG
events to widen opportunities.”
HR heads of the companies participated said that “companies
are looking for candidates with technical knowledge and other employable
skill-sets. Geography is not a restriction. Forum like FLAG eases the process
to identify the right candidates with the criteria companies looking for at one
place and saves cost and time.”
Thanga Roja Lydia, a student from a college in Tuticorin said “I
was apprehensive about job after studies. But I am glad that I got an offer
through FLAG. FLAG is a boon for students like me studying in colleges from
smaller cities with limited access to companies beyond our locality.”
EmployabilityBridge
will hold its next FLAG event is on 15th November at Bangalore.
