Skills Attributes and Employment Development   

Studying Bsc. Computing first year we are supposed to study four modules. One of them is "Study skills". In this module we get to learn how to enhance our presentation and public speaking skills as well as work in a group and as an individual. The other thing we get to do is to write our blogs. It helps in our writing as well as the way we can express ourselves to other peoples. I have high hopes from this module that it can enhance my skills of writing and increase my leadership qualities.  
One of the other module that we are currently involved is "Problem Solving for IT" it teaches us how to handle problems with little effort. Being an IT student as a problem solver; we do not know what kind of problem we would face in future but this module help us to be prepared. Using  the techniques from this module I hope to learn algorithms, flowcharts and database management using Microsoft excel and access which will guide me in my career while  I am working or on when I am on a job interview.
As a computer student programming is very important to us because this is what represents us. The third module we are currently studying is "Further programming"; this module deals with java programming. In near future we would be developing software using various programming languages that we are taught in this module. I expect to learn the programming language and graphical user interface from this module so latter in my future while creating website or application it might come in handy.
The final module I am currently studying is "Logic" which deals with mathematical problems. In this module we get to learn Truth tables, sets, binary, etc. It will aid me in sharpening my mind while thinking different ways to solve one problem that is essential while coding a program in near future.

Areas of improvement and Action plans

The world is going digital, and Software Engineers who can help with that transformation are reaping the benefits. Their pay is great, hiring demand for their skills is through the roof, and working conditions have never been better. U.S news survey about the current trend in employment states that IT is one of the most high paying jobs around the globe currently. In today's time companies are looking for skilled computing graduates with good soft skills and a problem solver capacity person who is able to handle technical difficulties as well as deal with clients or present their report to their boss in a proper manner.
Looking towards my areas of improvement I have to focus not only on my modules to achieve my goals but also should be able to have a fluent and good speaking skills so that I can be able to stand high explain my thoughts to others. When I go to the real world facing problem I should also be able to solve problem as well to compete. "survival of the fittest" as Charles Darwin explained to us in order to survive we have to be always ahead of others.
To succeed in near future I should not only be good in subject matters but also should be able to show express and present their idea. Well Studying here 7 weeks in Islington college I fell that I have been going in the right direction for my future. Currently I am in a learning stage where I am learning various programming languages such as Java, Python, etc and even with the help of PowerPoint I have been giving presentation and explaining people my works. To overcome all my weak points I would spend most of my time practicing programming language; work as an intern on various IT companies. To improve my speaking skills I would take some classes at the toast master  and volunteer on as many occasion as possible.
