In a strategic move to enhance the practical knowledge and career readiness of textile students across Bangladesh, the Textile Engineers Association (TEA) has successfully conducted the Nationwide Industrial Visit Convention 2.3. With participation from over 130 students representing more than 20 textile and engineering institutions nationwide, the initiative marks a significant step in aligning academic learning with real-world industrial exposure.
The journey began earlier this year through a series of three thematic seminars held between January and March. These sessions featured interactive presentations and quiz competitions designed to assess and identify top-performing students. The most promising participants were subsequently selected for the highlight of the program—a two-day industrial visit.
This visit took place at Zaber & Zubair Fabrics Ltd., a globally reputed name in Bangladesh’s textile sector. Students explored core manufacturing departments including dyeing, printing, and finishing. A noteworthy aspect of the visit was the tour of the company’s cutting-edge Biological Water Treatment Plant, offering insights into sustainable and environmentally responsible production practices.
The learning experience was further enriched by a career guidance session led by Engr. Rafiqul Islam, Processing Manager at Zaber & Zubair. His advice provided students with valuable direction as they look ahead to professional pathways in the textile industry.
The event’s success was driven by the thoughtful leadership of TEA’s Councilor Shawkat Hossain Sohel and Advisor Engr. Md. Zahid Murad Shuva, whose coordination ensured a seamless experience. Special appreciation is also due to Mr. Kayes Kawsar, GM (HR, Admin & Compliance) at Zaber & Zubair, for his crucial role in facilitating this meaningful collaboration.
By fostering direct engagement between students and the industry, TEA’s Nationwide Industrial Visit Convention 2.3 stands as a forward-thinking and impactful initiative. It underscores the importance of practical exposure in academic development and sets a precedent for future efforts to bridge the gap between the classroom and the factory floor.
