WALK WITH A SCHOLAR PROGRAM (WWS)
Walk with a scholar program at St. Joseph’s College, Irinjalakuda started in the year 2014-15 with guidance and financial support from the Govt. of Kerala. This is a specialized mentoring program designed exclusively for the Under Graduate students. The purpose of the program is to provide an extra bit of motivation, orientation, guidance and exposure to academically brilliant and passionate students, which will be useful for their higher studies and future employment. The mentoring scheme of WWS is founded on the concept of mentor as guide and friend. Appropriate students are selected in the 1st year and the number of students from a given batch is limited to 30. The selected students continue in the program for the entire 3 year duration of their Under Graduate course. The mentoring scheme is purely voluntary in nature and two categories of mentors are identified: internal mentor and external mentor. Internal mentors are selected from the faculty of St. Joseph’s College and external mentors are identified from outside the college, who excel in various disciplines and professions, as found suitable according to the local needs of the students. Each student goes through 10 sessions (1.5 hours each) of internal mentoring and 25 sessions of external mentoring during an academic year. They will also undergo several mock tests, interviews, debates, power point presentations etc. aimed at their core and soft skill development. Additionally, motivational visits to reputed research institutes, universities, public service institutions and corporates are arranged in order to give students a much needed exposure to professional life.
