Please share your thoughts re performing Training Diplomas side by side BSc's for full and part time students. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
I think that undergraduate Training Diplomas' programs are good along with BSc programs because some studies do not require more than 2 years to finish. Add to it, the possibility of introducing "untraditional" subjects which the market requires now such as those concerning the new smart communication tools.
I suggested, long time ago, postgraduate High Diploma for 2 reasons: 1) To give the opportunity for old school teachers to refresh their knowledge. 2) When a master student fails, then s/he gets this diploma as a compensation. It is unreasonable & illogical that any one who registers in MSc program always succeeds.
Previous studies found that potential employers are mostly not happy with fresh graduates qualifications, so i believe that training diploma along with internships are pretty much a must these days. The acquired skills from such training are the key strategies and tactics of successful job-hunting in the competitive job market.
Do you think doing Training Diplomas alongside with BSc's useful?
Finding there is no harm taking both training diploma & BSc together as:
BSc can provide a graduate with subject matter knowledge to resolve problems whereas training diploma can help the graduate how to deliver those subject matter training to other trainees (this can enhance training competency on subjects related to BSc).
Training diploma can improve presentation, public speaking & writing skillsets of the graduate.
Training diploma can train the graduate to be more sociable, more confident, active listener & capable to interact with others through a training session.
Training diploma can be an additional / secondary skills to land for a job in case BSc can't.
Training diploma can serve as an exposure to the graduate whether s/he likes training or not so that s/he will or will not pursue further in future.
I think, we should promote and encourage students to get diploma alongwith their regular BSc course. Job opportunities will increase and even if wants to pursue research this training will be helpful.

I would agree that enhancing the knowledge of our students has it's advantages. However, doing this in line with their regular BSc course could put pressure on students. Personally, I think students should fully commit to doing one course initially. Let students become a 'master of the trade' as opposed to 'jack of all trades'.
Knowledge of our graduated students must be improved continuously trough different training for mastering critical skills.
