Career Disha Nepal (CDN) is Nepal’s first holistic career counseling service provider working on a platform to help create a successful, enthusiastic and motivated workforce. Creating a direct link between the appropriate vocational or academic and the future career allows people to successfully transfer to the active workforce of Nepal. Moving away from the stereotypical concept of choosing jobs based on their popularity, CDN provides an accurate and scientific method to distinguish what Nepal’s youth is really made for.
