On February 15, 2025, EduSikh Skill Academy organized an insightful Career Guidance Workshop as part of its ongoing initiative to prepare students for emerging career landscapes. The session was conducted by Mr. Ravinder Singh Banga, a seasoned professional and industry mentor, who spoke on the topic “Importance of Finance and Career Opportunities in the BFSI Sector.”
The workshop aimed to equip students with a deeper understanding of the rapidly growing Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) industry one of the largest employment generators in India today. Mr. Banga began the session by breaking down the fundamentals of financial literacy, emphasizing how understanding finance is not just a professional skill but an essential life competency.
Over the course of the session, students explored how the BFSI sector forms the backbone of the economy and how a range of career paths are emerging within it from banking operations and financial analytics to fintech, risk management, and insurance advisory roles. Mr. Banga highlighted the skill sets and academic backgrounds that can help young professionals thrive in this field, including data interpretation, problem-solving, digital adaptability, and ethical decision-making.
Through real-world examples and interactive discussions, he helped students connect classroom learning with practical financial applications. The talk also shed light on how automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping the finance industry, and why adaptability and continuous upskilling are vital for future success.
Participants particularly appreciated the relatable way in which complex financial concepts were explained, making the session valuable even for those not from a finance background. The event concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where students sought guidance on internships, higher education in finance, and industry certifications that can enhance employability.
The workshop reinforced EduSikh’s commitment to bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world opportunities. By exposing students to industry experts and practical insights, EduSikh continues to help learners make informed career choices, understand market trends, and build the confidence to pursue their ambitions.
The February 2025 Career Guidance Workshop served as a reminder that understanding finance is not just about numbers it’s about empowerment, informed decision-making, and building a secure and sustainable future.
