TCS iON Vocational Education

Is a regular college degree enough to land you a high-paying job?

Every student who is currently pursuing higher studies or has discontinued education and is looking for opportunities is bound to face such a question. The best way to find the answer to it is by understanding why one should pursue a job-oriented degree program.

Why a job-oriented online degree program

There are many advantages to pursuing a job-oriented online degree program. However, it is natural to have certain doubts about it. Whether the course is affordable and flexible, will one be able to take out time to learn and complete the assignments while working in a full-time job or while running a business, etc.

The job-oriented courses acquire more significance with the changes taking place in the world of work. With the ongoing changes in the way industry works, rapid advancements in technology, and innovation across the globe, it is important for us to be prepared for the current as well as future challenges. This is the reason why many industry sectors are looking to hire people who are highly skilled and trained and those who can adapt to the changes.

Through job-oriented online degree programs like BBA, BCA or B.Com., you will be able to pursue and complete your degree program at an affordable fee and with flexibility. Online degree programs give you an edge over others and thereby you’ll be able to take control of your learning and career progression.

Why you should pursue a job-oriented online degree program

Let us check out the top 5 reasons why you should pursue a job-oriented online degree program –

1. Broader career opportunities/ paths

Doing a job-oriented degree program, and gaining exposure to the industry broadens the range of career opportunities for you. With sufficient knowledge of the industry and experiential learning in the particular field of interest, you will have the edge over your peers

By learning new skills, and gaining exposure through job-oriented courses, you are open to more career opportunities. This also paves the way for you in industry sectors that you couldn’t otherwise apply.

2. Academic Progression

Pursuing a job-oriented online degree program gives the much-needed impetus for your academic progression. Through such a degree program, you can acquire more knowledge and skills required to pursue higher studies in the field of your choice.  After completing your degree course, you can specialise in the field of your interest which will help you in climbing up the corporate ladder and also aid you in your entrepreneurial journey.

3. Opportunity to pursue work-integrated higher education

Pursuing higher education is a great opportunity and if it is a job-oriented course, it is definitely an added advantage. Colleges and institutes offering job-oriented degree programs are now collaborating with the industry to provide experiential and immersive learning. By doing a job-oriented degree program, you will have an opportunity to pursue work-integrated higher education, and understand the relevance of theoretical concepts in a practical setting, all while developing as a professional.

4. Enhance employability

When we say employability, it is not just about getting a job. It is about possessing a set of skills, personal attributes and understanding, which is not limited to a job role but is helpful throughout a person’s career. Live lectures from academic and industry experts, master classes recorded for quick review, e-learning materials, projects, and assignments included in a job-oriented online degree course will enhance your employability, thereby increasing your chances of being employable and getting placed in the organisation of your choice.

5. Improve social status

On the social front, having a degree is a mark of higher social status and that is why everyone desires to, somehow, complete a degree program. Earning a degree, getting better pay and holding a higher position in your career requires a lot of years building up. It is also an indicator that you can perform complex tasks, are highly disciplined and are capable of competing at a higher level.

However, not everyone has the chance to complete their degree and begin to work from an early age to support their families. But thanks to job-oriented online degree programs that are now providing an opportunity to candidates who wish to complete their degrees and thereby improve their social status in society.

Here are some of the job-oriented online degree programs you can pursue:

  1. BBA –  (Bachelor of Business Administration) – https://nationalskillsnetwork.in/top-5-reasons-to-apply-for-online-bba-program-from-sastra-university-naac-a-nirf-rank24/

  2. BCom – (Bachelor of Commerce) – https://nationalskillsnetwork.in/top-5-reasons-to-apply-for-the-online-b-com-program-from-sastra-university-naac-a-nirf-rank24/

  3. BCA – (Bachelor of Computer Application) – https://nationalskillsnetwork.in/top-5-reasons-to-apply-for-online-bca-program-from-sastra-university-naac-a-nirf-rank24/

All the above three online degree programs are offered by SASTRA University (NAAC A++/NIRF Rank24) and are digitally enabled by TCS iON.
