Introduction
Early planning of career and progression pathways is vital in order for children and youths to identify their future goals and take appropriate steps for meeting intermediate milestones to achieve them. Advisors in career centers will provide guidance and support to children and youths to help to equip them with the critical personal qualities and practical skills required in the working environment.
This project is designed for education, career guidance, counseling and personality development for students of the institutions of Bhupal Nobles University/ Vidya Pracharini Sabha in particular and children of Mewar and other neighbouring regions in general as per guiding principles of founding fathers of Vidhya Pracharini Shabha. Career counseling and guidance play a key role in helping students, youth and the education system meet their goals. Upward social mobility does not rely on knowledge and skills alone; but also on the understanding about how to use these. A major challenge for students and youth is to decide on career, job or a course which is most suitable for them. Hence there is a necessity of a career counseling, guidance and personality development center in the University.
