Career planning

Hundreds of thousands of fresh graduates are unemployed in our country. The main reason for this major problem is lack of career guidance. Many students take admission in fields they have no interest in. Most high school graduates feel pressure to follow in either an adult family member’s career path or their friends’. Career planning should be done carefully.

Every person has a different skill set and a single profession is not suitable for everyone. As a result, these people either find it hard to get hired or are at the risk of underperforming. The rising unemployment and the enhanced job saturation call for proper career counselling initiatives carried out by education institutions. Steps should be taken to help students choose a right profession according to their aptitude, interests, and capabilities.
