Moreover, this intensive curriculum is equipped with students for the skills, knowledge, and practical experience needed to thrive in this industry. Our program’s strength lies in the expertise of our faculty members, who are professionals in corporate communications and public relations.

“For someone who has spent over two and a half decades in the industry, teaching provides me with a sense of calm and a feeling of being able to contribute to the sector that has played a pivotal role in making me the person that I am today.
Passing on knowledge, fostering critical thinking skills, inspiring students and playing a small role in their development – these are some of the aspects that make me look forward to the sessions that I take for students who are at the cusp of entering the industry.
I personally believe this is the least I can do for my students who are now entering into a vast world and getting ready to face multiple challenges.
One of the most gratifying aspects of teaching is a sense of personal fulfilment and the immense satisfaction it brings. You are in a position to witness the growth and development of your students, and experience their “success” when they overcome an obstacle or see them stumble, but know that this is the step that is required to propel them further.
The mere feeling of knowing that you have played a small role in their growth is incredible. The joy of seeing your students flourish and realizing the positive difference that you have made in their lives is unmatched.
Not everyone gets the privilege to teach and work with a diverse group of students. An opportunity to teach is an opportunity to make a difference in the student’s life.
When I teach Corporate Communications and Crisis Management at SCoRe, my attempt has always been to help students discover their strengths and surmount challenges.
For me, teaching is not just completion of the syllabus. It helps students build resilience to overcome difficult situations, serve as a mentor and most importantly help build their self-esteem.
Each student is unique and each one brings their own style and learnings to the industry.
As I wrap this up, my only advice to each one of you is to always stay humble and be “like a sponge”. Just like how a sponge absorbs water, keep absorbing everything that comes towards you.
There is no reason why each one of you cannot be successful. The timing of success may vary but the end result will definitely be a positive one.
Best wishes….”
