It’s all about helping students become successful in individual careers….
>> Saturday, February 2, 2008
Every student who stepping into the college comes with series of expectations and aspirations about his career. Though the aspirations are on a higher side we have noticed that the student actually doesn’t know what career to choose and is generally guided through a strong peer and environmental influence that forces him/her to decide a career direction that may or may not be the right choice.
We have also noticed that even if the student even decides a suitable career direction he/she is unable to understand how to reach the destination.
In addition, every individual has behaviors, interests, aptitudes and abilities that come naturally (also known as instincts), as well as behaviors that are a learned product of experience starting very early in life. Together these make up an individual's "pattern of behavior" or Behavioral Assets and a Personality Ability mix. These behavioral assets go a long way in defining the success in a particular career stream.
The career streams come with demands on the behavioral, aptitude, knowledge and skill front. The success factor in any particular career stream is enhanced by matching the natural behavioral assets of the individuals to the career demands.
Hence there is a need to systematically and scientifically explore these natural behavioral assets, interests, aptitude and abilities of the students and then match them with those of various career streams.
Also there a great need to build the individuals confidence in setting goals and helping him achieve those he/she set for himself/herself.
