Making Informed Career Choices:
A Crucial Step Towards a Fulfilling Future
By: Rita, Class 12 Student

As a student in the 12th grade, the question of what to do after school is always on your mind. I was in a similar situation and decided to attend a job fair at the Regional Sports Complex on January 22, 2022. There, I interacted with experts from various disciplines and admissions officers from various institutions. The counselling and aptitude tests allowed me to investigate different career paths and accurately evaluate my strengths. I was able to avoid the risk of altering my career path later in life because of the advice.

The counsellors gave me advice on the admissions process, student loans, and possibilities for the future. This event gave me the morale boost I needed and helped me make a decision based on solid information. A student's future and chances for a prosperous career can be greatly impacted by attending career fairs and getting expert advice. Making wise decisions is essential to ensuring that one's job path matches their strengths and interests.
