Problems faced by students during career selection:  Pressure based Decisioning  Unclear Skill & Interest profile  Top Known Career Choices Only  Not Ready for Future  Not Based on Persona  Not working on multiple skill areas 8

9. INDIAN MARKET AND OPTIONS FOR OUR STUDENTS Problems Faced by Students During Career Selection • In India, awareness, and information about various career options available to students passing out of school are limited. A CAREER GUIDANCE COUNSELOR/ADVISOR • A career advisor or counsellor is an expert in exploring students' skill sets and interest levels and suggesting a balanced solution combining the merits of both. • The career advisor relies on career interest or aptitude tests (BRAIN MAPPING) as part of the discovery process to identify factors influencing career interests, abilities, and values. • In essence, a career advisor sets realistic career goals for each student. • The culture of going to a career advisor is almost non-existent. • According to a recent survey, 93 percent of students were aware of less than ten career options like engineering, medicine, law, finance, IT etc. • In contrast, there are more than 250 career options available today. • In other words, the awareness levels of many career options are very low in the majority of students. 9
