Adobe, the global leader in digital marketing and digital media solutions held a workshop on
Creative Resumes where students got an opportunity to
learn how they can use simple yet powerful tools such as Adobe
Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to create impressive and creative
cover letters, resumes and portfolios to stay ahead of others
while applying for the top universities worldwide. Students also learnt
how they can create strong credentials in digital formats that allow
them to be carried on the smart devices such as tablets and mobile
phones.
Says Umang Bedi, Managing Director, Adobe South Asia, “After roti,
kapda and makaan, mobile phone has become the single most
penetrated commodity in India. We need to think if we are providing the
right tools and technologies to disrupt education and if we are giving
our kids enough freedom to create so as to
be able to increase their receptiveness to education and make India a
product innovation hub. In today’s digital age, technology is empowering
educators and students to create content for experiential learning. It
enables dynamic and engaging modes of communication,
allowing students to express their ideas far more freely than with
traditional modes of knowledge transfer.”
Harjiv Singh, founder and publisher of BrainGain Magazine,
and an alumnus of Columbia University himself, says, “I am overwhelmed
with the huge student turnout at our first Study Abroad Information
Session, which indicates the hunger for quality
education our kids have today. In order to become a 21st century
knowledge hub, India and South Asia must overcome significant challenges
including the highest rates of adult illiteracy in the world, lack of
quality education across large parts of the region,
shortage of teachers, low gross enrolment ratio and limited exchanges
at the regional level. I believe that technology has an immense role to
play in turning the tables and helping us leapfrog on the education
front.” Harjiv also led a student session on
Tips and tricks for financing your education abroad.
