Apeejay College of Fine Arts guides young minds at SPARK festival

Apeejay College of Fine Arts (ACFA), Jalandhar, played a vital role in the recent SPARK Festival, an initiative by the district administration of Jalandhar aimed at providing a platform for sports and career awareness. This annual event, designed for students of classes 10 to 12, sought to offer invaluable guidance to help them make informed decisions about their educational and professional paths.

Expressing her insights on the significance of the SPARK Festival, Dr. Neerja Dhingra, Principal of ACFA, emphasised, “Participation in the SPARK fair has become a tradition for our college, marking this one to be the 8th consecutive year. The critical juncture from class 10th to 12th is pivotal, and the decisions made during this period shape the trajectory of a student’s life. We recognise the challenges students face in navigating these choices and will do our bit to help them navigate their career pathway with ease.”

Under the guidance of Dr. Supreet Talwar and Dr. Monica Arora, faculty members at ACFA, the college set up an informative stall, providing training and insights to students across various disciplines. The spotlight was on performing arts and social sciences, commerce and management, computer science and information technology, design and visual arts, and physiotherapy. The college also shed light on diverse courses such as data science, e-commerce & digital marketing, sound technology, beauty culture & cosmetology, healthcare management, theater & TV production, and e-commerce.

Further, Dr. Neerja Dhingra highlighted the focus on creating awareness regarding placement opportunities in different fields. “This effort not only facilitates students in making informed decisions about their educational pursuits but also equips them with the knowledge needed to secure their livelihoods in the future.”

The SPARK Festival, through ACFA’s active participation, continues to be a beacon for students, guiding them toward a future aligned with their passions and aspirations. As the college remains committed to empowering students with information and mentorship, it reaffirms its dedication to nurturing well-informed and successful individuals.
