Career Counselling Session at XLRI on Sunday

Jamshedpur: XLRI students� organization Samarthya is organising the fifth edition of Disha � Jamshedpur�s biggest career counselling workshop for school students on Sunday at XLRI.

Lack of knowledge and awareness is an issue that is prevalent in our society and leads to uninformed decisions which in turn causes a plethora of problems. Disha aims to tackle this issue by the horns. A huge information gap exists when students make career related decisions.

This gap between their awareness of the careers open to them, the careers which are uniquely right for them, and the career the society leads them to think is their only alternative � is a major cause of concern. This not only expands the horizon of possibilities for the youth but also helps the cause of a developing country like India. Many schools from Jamshedpur are invited to participate in this event.

Any number of students can be accompanied by their teachers and parents. To throw more light on the diversity of career paths, students of XLRI will be there to help by answering all questions and concerns of students and their parents regarding various careers. The students will be guided through the requirements of various courses and the requisite preparation for their entrance examinations.

Disha will also conduct profiling tests that will help in understanding one�s persona and will aid in making career related choices. Teachers who play a crucial part in developing the youth are important guests to the event.

Growing leaps and bounds every year, Disha promises to be bigger than last year. The event celebrates compassion and love for the community. We hope to reach out to more students so as to bring a change in the lives of the young adults of our country.

A career can be a major source of satisfaction in our fleeting lives � we are working to increase the percentage right from the very beginning of the career choices.
