Lack of awareness and guidance among students on new career avenues often leads to confusion. Both parents and their children are uncertain, when it comes to choosing on a future course of action.
Choosing the right career is not about giving a few career aptitude tests, taking counselling sessions, but understanding the pool of choices available to an individual.
Here are 5 platforms for students to help them plan their career ahead:
1. BJYU's
