The Career Guidance Committee, Baptist College,Kohima in collaboration with Assam Downtown University organised a workshop on “Employability Skills, Career Counselling & Choosing the Right University” with Dr. Adnan Khan, Assistant Director, Centre for Language Proficiency and Professional Development, Assam Downtown University as the resource person on 13th March, 2026 at Rivenburgs Memorial Chapel. The session was chaired by Ms. Kelhouvinuo Metha, Convenor, Career Guidance Committee, who noted the importance of the workshop. Dr. Khan engaged the students with an activity on knowing one’s worth. He talked on how Nagas have the edge because what Naga tradition teaches is what the world is starving for: oral tradition is communication skills, honour is professional integrity and tribal languages translates to cultural intelligence, which becomes the five pillars of employability. The constant interaction with the students proved a success to make them participate and speak up on stage with the activity based on the STAR method (Situation Task Action Result) and what the students cared about in the community.A clear view on what degrees can achieve specific career was highlighted. Dr.Khan also emphasised on what questions and direction to look when deciding on a university, the most important being whether the university will develop a student or ask them to become someone else.Winding up the workshop, students were given questions to ponder upon which can be answered and mailed to the resource person at a later date. The workshop ended with a short session of Q&Aprogram baptist coll_20260312_090659_0000
