Valliammal College for Women aims for Holistic Student – VCW understands the significant importance of field trips and excursions for a student’s overall development. To supplement classroom learning with practical exposure, Valliammal College for Women organises various industrial visits so that students can gain practical insights into industry operations and be ready for the outside world.
Industrial visits, often referred to as industry visits for students, are an essential part of the academic curriculum in most of the graduate and Post-graduate courses. Being a part of interactive learning, such educational visits give students major exposure to real working environments along with a practical perspective of a theoretical concept relevant to their domain. The objective of industrial visits is to bridge the widening gap between theoretical learning and practical exposure by giving students first-hand exposure to identify the inputs and outputs of different business operations and processes performed at the workplace.
Intending to go beyond classroom learning, industrial visits for college students contribute a lot in holistic student development by letting students learn about the current trends in the market, the future scenario of the industry, and the new technologies that are being applied in the industry.
Opportunity to interact with Industry Experts: Industrial visits provide students with a chance to meet industry leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and corporations who share their wisdom, learning, and experiences. These interactions are useful to students in their careers and help them in developing leadership qualities, and management skills while learning about the industry. Industry interaction is also helpful in updating the curriculum when there are significant changes in prevalent technologies; also, the faculty members get to know about the industry’s latest trends.

The purpose of an industrial visit is not just about giving students a break from their regular academic routine, but also to ensure that they gain practical insights and develop an understanding of real-world industry dynamics.
Industrial visits are usually the first point of interaction between a student and a live working industry. The students learn about the latest technology trends and make up their minds about their future jobs or areas of interest. However, students and teachers both should take this seriously and utilize this industrial visit for learning and enhancing their skills. This trip should not be wasted in idle fun and jokes and should be used for team bonding and learning along with a bit of fun.
