Training Role in Professionalism

How can we say that education, as well as training, makes a perfect professional

Education is a process of gaining knowledge in various subjects, facts, values, moral lessons which we gain from any source be it family members, school, college, teachers and our surroundings and also whatever you gain from your personal experience.

Education and training differs slightly i.e. education refers to gain knowledge from all the sources available, whereas training is a process of inculcating some specific skills aimed at job, opportunities, particularly for opening the doors to get in the professional world

Education and training must go hand in hand because education without training is in vain. Its simply because if you can’t apply your theoretical knowledge ‘practically’ then you certainly lack something or the other. For instance – we all know how to switch on a light, but when we don’t get up press the switch it won’t turn on so its all about ‘realising your theoretical knowledge’.

A professional is one who knows the ways applies his /her knowledge practically. Training is an integral part of education and these both are must have for becoming a professional. As education ignites minds, in the same way, training gives you the roadmap about how you have to carry out a certain process to being practical is much important. Professional is one who professes a particular job in a very clear and precise way. So, the clarity and precision come only when you practice and training session in the schools, colleges, and workshop intend to inculcate these basic features skills which may be helpful for leading a professional life.

In the current scenario, the indian education system lags behind in providing the best available training to the students.The reason why it lags behind is that the schools, colleges, teaching institutions offer theory oriented courses in large numbers, but there are only a handful of training sessions. We are not unknown of the position of the numbers of engineers available in our country, but they hold only a degree and that’s all because they lack that particular training.

This is because the colleges, schools tend to offer knowledge from reading materials and books, particular labs are not given consideration preference. These institutions just leave the job of providing training on the business firms, IT sectors and then again the business firms /trading companies can hire only a few as they can provide these training sessions to a limited session of people. And this gets worse, when there is an internship , the intern is supposed to get a salary or some sort of amount from the company but now when you are going for an internship, in most cases time the intern has to pay money. So the condition is this worse without training.

So we arrive at a conclusion that training and education both are equally important to become a perfect professional who is full of new ideas,unique talent,well versed and most importantly a personnel with values,concern and love for all because a good professional is not only one who is job and work oriented , but also he is the one who does his/her job with extraordinary practical skills with a feeling of concern for all and with a fellow-feeling and moral attitude.
