Vocational training prepares you for life, and that's why it should be mandatory for all.
We have always been told to study hard to become successful at something and have a secure future from our childhood. But nobody has ever informed us that primary education is a must, but higher education is a choice. If someone doesn't feel drawn towards it, it's better to learn a new skill. But you may ask, what skills? And how do they learn that? Here comes the role of vocational training. Though the Indian learning and education system is all about teaching academic subjects, vocational subjects play an equal and important role in society in real life. Not everyone is good at academics and wants to pursue a career in it. There are many successful and high-paying jobs out there that certainly don't need high academic qualifications. Not just about making a career, vocational training can help us in other aspects of life too. So, let's check out how beneficial vocational training are for us.
It makes you job-ready
Vocational trainings are mostly hands-on jobs, which helps you to get prepared for the job. If you have vocational training, your skills and abilities to perform a job become better. It makes you adapt to the nuances of the corporate world. And make any job aspirant confident and job-ready.
Help you get a different perspective.
Vocational training provides you with a different perspective of life and helps you to look at things differently. In academics, things are mainly black and white, but vocational training helps you understand the grey areas of life. For example, it helps you understand that success and failure are not always good and bad; many things are in between. This is an attitude that you learn with hands-on experiences.
Improves interaction skills
Often, vocational activities are held in groups, where you were needed to communicate and coordinate with other group members. This helps you develop a good enough communication skill, and prepare you to work as a team.
Provide a career path
Vocational activities like cooking, sports, crafts can help you create a career out of it. It not only informs you of other career paths but also gives insight into the job you might be having if you follow the career path.
Helps in Character development
Ultimately, every vocational skill helps you bring out the best of yourself. From developing cognitive skills to behavioural skills, it does it all and makes you the best version of yourself. You also become more confident, independent, optimistic.
