Career Counseling And Education
Young people today are both excited and confused by the innumerable career choices. To succeed, therefore, means changing one's mindset, and then sifting through the enormous information overload to find the right path. There are hundreds of options that can be most challenging and fulfilling, from computers, design, travel and tourism, telecommunications, biotechno
logy, environmental science, and many others. Each offers a diverse spectrum of options that will hold good well into the next millennium. Much of this phenomenon can be attributed to a lack of awareness about the future of options within the arts, science and commerce streams. Baba Budha Sahib Educational and Sports Associations attempt to address these problems. Thus it is clear that there are a diverse range of options that the sciences, arts and commerce offer. It is important therefore to examine the multi-fold opportunities available with any subject choice. To enable students to make that all-important decision with regard to subject choice and careers, well armed with all the required information, our association provides all the data regarding the areas of work, the requirements for entry, both academic and personal, the training courses and institutions, the job prospects and future scope for a range of careers in the area of sciences, arts, commerce and the new technologies that will be the focus of the next decade. Baba Budha Sahib Educational and Sports Association provides the latest figures on the growth of each career field, with exhaustive country-wide listings of courses of study, and the colleges and institutions where they are available. The book on the subject is also under preparation where all the information relating to all type of courses, institutions and future prospects of these courses have been mentioned. This book will be given to the students free of cost by the association. In India today there are 210 universities, 10011 colleges, and 950 polytechnics providing education to about million of students every year. So, is the training adequate to enable them to find jobs? Are the students suitable for the jobs available? A brief look at the job market scenario indicates that the maximum number of jobs in the past few years has gone to the technically trained specialists. Therefore an important point to consider is that to succeed in today's job market one needs to have the requisite aptitude, the necessary training and skills, not merely a general degree, and information on job trends and the prospects for the future. The aim of the Baba Budha Sahib Educational and Sports Association has been to assist young people in this task. A career decision is one that sets the direction for life. Planning and strategy is of vital importance. We hope that Baba Budha Sahib Educational and Sports Association will enable students, alongwith their parents and teaches to identify their choice of careers according to their interests and abilities and to work towards attaining their goals. Each individual's career and the output from that work contribute to the growth of society and the country. India is one the rise, and will be a significant global economic and social power in the coming century. The country therefore needs all the talent of its educated youth to work towards this goal.
