My volunteering experience for the C3G Workshop…

13th September 2015 was a remarkable day for me because this is the day where I volunteered myself to be one of the facilitator to conduct the C3G workshop for EWRF Tanjung Malim branch. This C3G workshop was conducted for 150 CSI students. The ultimate goal of this workshop was to assist the students in developing an action plan to design their dreams and construct their future by setting goals in their chosen careers. C3G, a career planning workshop is another vital project conducted by EWRF last year.

Mrs.Yasotha and I were the facilitators who took the responsibility of conducting this one day workshop for the CSI students. Priya, one of the students who participated in this productive workshop expressed her utmost gratitude to EWRF team for creating a great platform for her and her friends that helped them on their career choices and for them to look for available options according to their interests and personalities. Besides that, Mr Govindasamy, The President of EWRF Tanjung Malim branch confided that more workshops ought to be conducted in the near future for the benefit of CSI students. In a nutshell, I believe that this C3G workshop has provided the students with an opportunity to embrace their interpersonal skills and taught them to seize the moment and chances, as the saying goes ‘strike the iron while its hot’. Most of the students expressed their satisfaction by giving positive feedback.

Being as a volunteer cum facilitator, it was really challenging to deal with a big segment of students who appeared disinterested, but somehow we managed to attract their attention by the different activities that could draw their attention. Personally, I felt really happy for being a part of this workshop as this was a wonderful experience of handling students in guiding them for a better future.
