It was clear from the assessment that there is a paucity of adequate guidance and counselling on career opportunities for both boys and girls.
A series of career counselling workshops were organised to meet this challenge in Government schools of the project in order to encourage students to take up career of their choice. These workshops were conducted by the faculty members of Industrial Training Institutes (ITI) in Sonipat between 23rd and 29th of January, 2019. The workshop helped them to learn about the various career options available after 10 and 12 grades and guidance was provided on career choices. The students were also guided regarding the admission procedure in their respective ideal career options. The workshops also gave opportunities to the students to discuss their passions and dreams with the counsellors. Students have reported an enhanced sense of self confidence. They have also shared with project facilitators a feeling of being more focused and clear for their career.
