Career Counselling Certification Exam | IITM Pravartak, Punjab School Education Board & BodhBridge | Online

Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping students’ futures. They observe the students closely, recognising strengths, weaknesses, talents, and aspirations. Because of this unique advantage, teachers are often the first influencers who can guide students toward meaningful career paths.

This initiative aims to empower teachers of the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) by equipping them with essential career guidance and counselling skills. Through this training, teachers will be able to support students in exploring their interests, understanding career options, and making informed academic and professional choices.

This training program is offered by IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation, in partnership with BodhBridge Education, a company run by IIT Madras alumni. BodhBridge has over 10 years of experience in the career guidance domain and has collaborated with IIT Madras for the last 5 years on impactful career guidance projects.

This initiative aims to bring high-quality, research-based career guidance training to teachers free of cost, enabling large-scale implementation across Punjab.

Note: Please note that attending the training alone will not entitle you to a certificate. A certificate will be provided based on the performance in the paid post-training assessment.
