IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation is partnering with BodhBridge Education, a company run by IIT Madras alumni, to offer Career Counselling Certification Training to School Teachers.

This service is being provided free of cost for the benefit of school students with whom teachers spend a significant time, enabling them to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and interests. This unique position makes them the first to recognize a student’s potential and guide them in directions they may excel. Teachers can help cultivate aspirations early, helping students visualize career goals and motivating them to work towards them.

This initiative aims to empower teachers, who are the first counselors to school students, across the country by equipping them with essential career guidance skills, enabling them to guide students toward well-informed educational and career paths.

In the short term, the initiative is targeting to cover 10,000 School Teachers across 5,000 Schools across India in the next 3 months. The first batch of training commences on 14th December. The last date to register is 12th December 2024.

Interested Schools and Teachers can register through the following link – https://bodhbridge.iitmpravartak.org.in

This program is open for School Teachers, School Principals, Educators, and Counsellors. Participation in this certification program is free. The knowledge gained from this workshop will not only benefit your students but also enhance your skills as educators and mentors.

Elaborating on the importance of such courses, Mr. Balamurali Shankar, Chief Knowledge Officer, IIT Madras Pravartak Technologies Foundation, said, “Our goal with this collaboration is to make a meaningful impact by enabling teachers to serve as effective career counsellors within their schools. Teachers play an essential role in helping students build the foundation for a fulfilling career. By providing this training free of cost, we are committed to creating accessible pathways for teachers to develop skills that can shape the futures of countless students.”

Mr. Balamurali Shankar added, “Career Counselling Certification is a perfect opportunity for every teacher to develop the knowledge, skills, and expertise needed to become a career counsellor. This certification program aims to equip all teachers with the knowledge, tools and strategies to play an even more significant role in guiding and supporting students in making informed decisions about their career paths. Teachers are often the first counsellors they encounter on their journey toward their future careers. In the modern educational landscape, the responsibilities of teachers have expanded beyond traditional teaching roles. They are increasingly expected to guide and support students in making crucial career-related decisions.”

Teachers can introduce students to a range of careers, including emerging fields in technology, arts, sciences, and trades, which may not have been as common in the past. A well-curated list of top careers, updated yearly based on market trends, can provide students with relevant, modern options to explore.

Through this certification training, teachers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the current educational landscape and the various career pathways available for students. They will also receive hands-on guidance on essential counselling techniques to better support and inspire students to make informed career choices. Certification will be provided to the participants based on their performance in the post-training assessment.

BodhBridge has been in the career guidance space for the last 10 years. During the last five years, the company has been working with IIT Madras on different projects involving career guidance for rural children. This partnership with IITM Pravartak aims at taking career guidance and counselling fundamentals to a large number of teachers free of cost.

COURSE CURRICULUM
