Why Students Need to Focus on Practical Skills along with Theoretical Knowledge
Today, just learning from books is not enough. We all read theories and notes, but when it comes to real life, we often do not know how to use them. Thatβs why learning practical skills is very important.
Theory gives us an idea or concept, but practical knowledge helps us understand how to actually do it. For example, a marketing student can learn all the marketing terms from books, but when they do an internship or a small project, they get to know how things work and what are the needed skills for that field. In fact there are some people who do not know theory very well but sitting at a good profile just because of their practical knowledge which they have developed by working in the field.
Practical skills make us more confident and ready for jobs. When we try things ourselves, we make mistakes, learn from them and get better. This gives us real experience that books alone canβt teach. Although theories are also a very crucial part of any project or work but theories alone can make individual blind of what is coming next because practical implications are generally a lot different.
So, students should focus on both theory and practical knowledge. They should work on projects and internships to make themselves ready for the industry, a perfect example of this is even a one year experienced individual is valued lot more than freshers because they know the practical implications. Theory gives knowledge and practical work gives experience. Together they help us grow and prepare for the real world.
