Before attending the session, he was quite confused regarding which profession to choose. His father was asking him to join his shop and start working as an electrician. He didn’t want to join his father’s business, but he didn’t how to convince his father since he himself wasn’t sure about the career he wants to choose for future. He also used to have confusion regarding his future studies, for instance which subject to choose in college. He never found anyone to discuss his concern with anyone before.
The career education has a positive impact on his thinking process and cleared his confusions in many aspects. He mentioned that by the activity of “Find my strengths” & “RIASEC”, I got to my interest in teaching and realized how much I like to help people in learning things. Also, CV activity helped him a lot. His family has many financial restraints, and his father expects him to share the financial burden. So, CV activity helped him in understanding how to find a suitable part time job for him and how to apply for it.

He said that session has helped him in deciding his subject for college as well. He will select Pre-medical in college because of his interest in biology and other science subjects. In the meanwhile, he will give tuitions to school students so that he can share his father’s financial burden.
