The traditional approach to career management, such as on-campus and off-campus placements and assessment partners, may not be adequate in today’s digital market realm, said Kamal Stephen, Director of Early Career Talent at SAP.
According to him, the new age approaches such as internships, hackathons or idea-thons, contest/competition platforms, new age portals, community platforms, and the train-hire-deploy model have emerged as alternative approaches.
