Questions to ponder

Need for Skilling

COVID-19 pandemic has transformed many verticals. The need to adapt to unprecedented situations is a skill that every future career requires. Technology is changing at a rapid pace. In today’s world, there are ample opportunities that the students can choose from and excel in. There have been numerous instances where a student pursues a particular field due to parental/peer pressure or lack of awareness about career choices. At a later stage, he/she may realize his/her passion, and maybe it is too late to start all over again.

Creating awareness about current and future career options at a young age will give the student an opportunity to explore the various opportunities, identify the area he/she is passionate about and skill up in that area.
