The first module aims to discover new opportunities, where the student learns about the global business environment and entrepreneurship and gets an overview of future career opportunities.
The second module focuses on learning and acquiring new skills like financial literacy, public speaking, problem-solving and critical thinking.The third module emphasises on self-development of the students, where the session moderator will highlight the importance of being happy, the value of developing a hobby, and the significance of time management. The overall programme will help the students in their holistic development and help them realise their true potential.
Making learning fun
The IIM Jammu summer school would benefit thousands of students and will provide them an excellent opportunity to learn new skills, explore new interests, and find ways for self-development.
