Career Centre - How to build our future people for the country? Do we know how much talent goes out every year out of country? Rich countries hires talent from India and India (Govt) competes with them. What a wonderful situation:):)

Career centre should be a onestop shop for all career related queries of students from (+2 to PG) in the area, centre is present . The centre should provide counselling on the various courses/professions/careers available to a student. The counsellors of diff. professional institute's should be asked to counsel at centre and seminars should be organised upon Career planning. The database of a centre can be shared to interested colleges to follow up with students to help them to choose career.

Career Centres panels must be chosen from the graduates and post graduates of that field. Create an online voting and awareness program to chose the best from that industry. You can depend on local faculty members also for the same who will be knowing the experts in that field. That way they will represent people of the region and Govt should be appointing a few experts of the field to guide. That way it will be driven by from local community who will be drivng for themselves.

The Career Centers need to guide students by allowing them to assess their aptitude. The industries that are likely to grow very fast, the jobs those industries are going to create, the skills those jobs need, the work environment and life style they provide are all part of Career Centers. How to deal with unemployment, making a resume to applying and also changing careers should also be part of a career center.

A Career Center should start with parents, as they are the main drivers of their child's future. An in depth analysis is required into evolving industries and likely job creation counts. For example cyber security professionals are going to be in high demand in times to come. Currently India has 100 M users on the internet and is expected to go up to 300 M by 2020 as per govt of India estimates. Aptitude tests are being done by most schools now a days for children.....
