Choosing the right career is a critical decision that has a significant impact on a student’s future. It can determine their earning potential, job satisfaction, and overall quality of life. Picking a career that aligns with a student’s skills, interests, and values can lead to a fulfilling and rewarding career path. On the other hand, choosing the wrong career can result in unhappiness, frustration, and a lack of motivation. It’s important for students to take the time to explore their options via researching different careers. And this is where career counsellors also play a critical role in mentoring students to make an informed decision about their future.
Thus, for students of Apeejay School, Noida, career counselling sessions are a regular affair. Once again, the school organised an exhaustive career guidance session to answer queries of students of classes 10-12 related to their career options and preparation strategy. The informative session assisted the students in selecting the most appropriate career choices for them.
The resource person for the day was an eminent Career Counsellor, Mr. Jitin Chawla, an MBA graduate from one of the top most business institutes of India, Faculty of Management Studies (University of Delhi).

At the event, the expert introduced the students about the programmes offered by Google Digital Garage, W3 schools, Outschool.com. He also motivated them to participate in competitions offered by TYE, IIT Delhi, Inspire, Intel Science Fair that would help them to learn new skill.
Further, he guided young learners about writing research papers, doing iinternships and working on tech projects to build a good profile. He also encouraged them to attend summer camps on Entrepreneurship by EDII, Law and Public Policy by JGU, Cornell, USC, UC Berkeley.
