Promotion Messages Identify Needs We need to make sure that IT and Engineering students know that we understand them First of all we need to understand their needs: They are IT students or engineers… Looking for practical experience, which is not offered by their courses. Looking for international experiences in their field. They can take time off from their academics and tend to be open to any part of the world for their internships. They understand that despite their knowledge in technologies, they need soft skills, management skills, teamwork skills, and they need to develop themselves in the non-IT sphere.
