A recent survey on career option awareness among Indian students has revealed that a staggering 93% of the students aged 14-21 were aware of just 7 career options though there are more than 250 different types of job options available in India. The critical shortage of Career Advisors and Counselors in schools has led us, Meru, to take a step forward in working towards educating students in the different careers they can choose from, while also allowing them to explore these choices through hands-on experience. Our goal is to empower students to choose a meaningful career and educational pathway that positions themselves for lifelong success and happiness in what they choose.
Our research recognizes that making career readiness requires profound changes in the culture of education, as well as in longstanding education practices and programs.
Career development should not be put off until students graduate from high school or even college, as is too often the case today. Rather, students and their parents/guardians should be exposed to career development—and the core idea that they have access to economic opportunity—right from elementary school. Starting early will not provide an immediate economic payoff. But as students grow up, they will be better prepared to develop and pursue viable personal career plans.
10 years from today, many of the careers that exist may not be relevant for when your child grows older. Over the last 3 decades, we have seen the world grow from the IT revolution to AI and machine learning today. These changes are only going to get faster thanks to the rapid advances in the fields of robotics, driverless transport, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, advanced materials, and genomics.
An understanding of what works tomorrow is everything for your child’s success. Unfortunately, only 2.3% of the workforce in India is skilled as on today. What will it take for us to bridge the gap and propel India forward to be a superpower.
