The Punjab Govern-ment on Tuesday rolled out a plan to upgrade career guidance and counseling cells at district level besides making these institutions modern and hi-tech.
Education Minister Daljit Singh Cheema, while presiding over a State-level meeting of career guidance and counsellor gathered from across the State, asserted these counselling cells could play a pivotal role in making careers of students brighter.
“It is the call of the hour to adopt modern ways of counselling instead of traditional methods of career counseling,” he said while directing senior officers of education department to organise a special week-long training programme for career guidance and counselling cells for all 22 districts before January end. “The sole purpose of this programme is to prepare students for admissions in new courses according to their interests and capabilities,” he said.
