Have you ever wondered why you want to brush up your skills?
What will you do with your skillset? You will say, I will look for jobs and
start earning. But are these short term courses associated with any kind of
jobs or employment opportunities? No doubt demand for online courses is
progressively expanding in our country but students are not faithful about the
employment opportunities after these courses. People who are not able to spend
ample time on regular courses or who are involved in any part-time work
generally opt for these short term skills courses. Education is like a personal
investment. After investing 10-15 years of your life, you expect a return on
investment (ROI). That ROI is directly related to your skills. If your skills
are excellent and in demand, then you will get multiple job opportunities and
therefore, your ROI will be higher.

DISTANCE EDUCATION FOR FRESHERS OR PROFESSIONALS

Companies encourage their workers to take up some skills
specializations through online certifications so as to work with a broad skill

promotions and better careers through the acquisition of more skills. While a
fresher with an online degree has very less chances of getting hired by
top-notch companies. The trend shows that most of the online courses candidates
are employed professionals who want an increment in their careers through skill
enhancement. 

PLACEMENT CELL OF DISTANCE LEARNING UNIVERSITIES

Many universities have started offering distance education in
various disciplines. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is the only
national university in India for quality distance education. These universities
have well-developed placement cell for their students so as to get placed in
reputed companies, government organizations, NGOs, etc. These placement cells
make students believe that even though their education is online, still they
have enough employment opportunities. This definitely makes distance education
worthy as a career prospect.
