Like any other research project, career exploration requires information gathering and assessment, which can have unexpected discoveries and is a long-term process. For many students, career exploration can feel like an indefinite challenge.

So, How do you explore the unknown? Where do you begin to identify and keep track of the available options? Career resources exist in abundance, but how can you understand what to use and when? When do you know that the search is over and you can now make a decision? 

To answer these questions, the school counsellor, Ms. Deepti Yadav gave an insight into the deep ocean of career exploration.

 The entire Class XII was divided into nine groups. Student groups conducted an initial review of the research topic. They collected data for career exploration involving a variety of methodologies based on the research parameter assigned. At the end of the research project, students summarised their analysis and discussed their conclusions to provide answers to thequestionsto identify their future directions.All their findings were depicted in informative presentations.

Shouldering responsibilities is what is required from the youth today. The youth today will be the change-makers of tomorrow. Owning up the responsibility of future is the need of the hour. We have a responsibility of being good stakeholders of safe environment so that as a legacy, it can be passed on to the generations to come. Arjun of class VI recited a self-composed poem on the environment which was eye-opening and thought provoking.
