Living in a world where there is a dearth of knowledge and awareness regarding the various career options, each student faces common questions concerning their streams. This is where career counselling plays a pivotal role. Career counselling helps us get an insight into ourselves, know more about our areas of strengths and improvements, and take well-informed career-related decisions. Perceiving this significance, EPS organized 3 career-counselling sessions this month witnessing experts from the Mindler, Krea University, and Anant National University. Mr. Deepankar from Mindler highlighted on the pre-requisites required for abroad education, scholarships and the importance of having a holistic profile.
The college officers essentially emphasized the scope of pursuing careers in fields other than the stereotypical ones, the concept of interwoven or multi-disciplinary learning and the courses and scholarships provided by their respective universities.
All the sessions were highly informative and interactive. Certainly, such sessions certify that the finest opportunities, support, and guidance are given to each EPSite to take the most appropriate career-related decisions in their near future.
