As part of the Extension Activity of the Department of Commerce, St Agnes College (Autonomous), Mangaluru, a workshop on “Soft Skills for Professional Competency” was organised at Bethany English Medium School, Bajpe, on 31 August 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The programme aimed to create awareness among school students about the importance of soft skills and their role in developing professional and interpersonal competencies.

Three final-year B.Com students of St Agnes College — Mr. Shaun Melric Fernandes, Ms. Shamitha Sathish, and Ms. Ayesha Zuha — were invited as resource persons to conduct the workshop. Drawing from their academic experiences and exposure to professional environments, the student resource persons engaged the participants through interactive discussions and activities.

The workshop focused on essential soft skills such as effective communication, confidence, teamwork, interpersonal skills, leadership, time management, and professional behaviour. The sessions encouraged the students to actively participate, express their ideas, and understand how these skills can contribute to their personal growth and future career development.

The workshop provided the B.Com students with an opportunity to share their knowledge and develop their own communication, presentation, and leadership abilities while interacting with younger learners. The programme concluded with an encouraging and positive response from the participants.

The Extension Activity successfully fulfilled its objective of empowering students with essential soft skills and creating awareness about their importance in achieving professional competency and future career success.
