MY CAREER IS MY CHOICE?
For a student to confidently admit "my career is my choice" takes a lot of collaborative effort from the parents, teachers, community, and the student.
Many a times parents pray for their children to get into a good career in life, ignoring the fact that it is a serious internal engineering and requires guidance.
Schools dole out loads of theory and provide less environment for experiential learning for the students to understand their real strengths and weaknesses. That is why most students go back to parents and teachers and ask them what college degree they should pursue after completing 12 years of school life.
Many experts tell the students about the available courses in the market, the available colleges in the region and a lot more details to help the students locate good courses and colleges.
Whether this helps the student or not depends upon the student's understanding of his/her "career as a concept."
TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF will trigger questions in the minds of the student and will trigger conversations in the family to discuss about the career of the children. It will help the students to understand various dimensions of and gain an idea regarding multiple concepts that they had not been able to grasp while in school/college. Ultimately, it is an effort to facilitate students to build a concept for their careers.
