Career Counselling in Roopnagar
Ek Punjab Foundation is organising regular career counselling sessions in Roopnagar on every second and fourth Saturday, aiming to equip youth with skills and improve employment prospects in the region.
Speaking about the initiative, a representative of the foundation said, "Our goal is to bridge the gap between education and employability. Many young people have potential but lack direction. These sessions provide them with clarity, skills, and confidence to pursue meaningful careers."
Participant Response
Participants have also responded positively to the programme. One attendee shared, "The counselling sessions helped me understand different career paths and the skills required. It gave me a clearer roadmap for my future."
Background
The initiative comes at a time when career awareness and skill development are being prioritised across India. These efforts align individual interests with job opportunities, reflecting a broader push toward informed career decision-making.
In Punjab, growing investments and economic activity have also increased the demand for a skilled workforce, making such grassroots counselling initiatives crucial for connecting youth with emerging opportunities.
Impact
By holding sessions twice a month, the foundation is creating consistent access to guidance for students, job seekers, and fresh graduates. The programme focuses on:
- Career awareness across diverse sectors
- Skill identification and development
- Guidance on education, training, and job readiness
Experts note that regular counselling interventions can significantly improve employability outcomes by helping candidates make informed decisions and align their skills with market needs.
The initiative is expected to benefit a growing number of young people in and around Roopnagar, contributing to local workforce development and supporting broader employment generation efforts in the state.
