[:en]On the 20^th of February 2016, Career Disha Nepal held an extensive workshop targeting the young 15 to 17-year-olds in SOS Children’s Village, Bhaktapur. The introduction workshop aimed at creating a mindset for that certain group about the vastness of the job sectors available locally. It was also focused on the tasks, activities as well as the employers involved in various sectors. The session started at 11:00 am local time sharp after an hour of preparing flexes, charts and other arrangements. The day was filled with experimental games, eye-opening questions as well as a few laughs of astonishment. The day commenced with group works as well as question sessions and ended with self -reflection from the youth. “I had earlier expected the students to be shy and reserved. I was also expecting them to be clueless about careers and what they hold. But they participated well and now have a clearer and wider knowledge about the opportunities here in Nepal.” Suresh Kasula “I found with certainty that the introduction of ‘discipline’ is curbing creativity and enthusiasm. It was also evident that if encouraged, students can definitely give something back. It could be said that it is better for teachers to ask ‘what you might prefer’ rather than ‘you should prefer this’, since this might clog their creativity.” Hari Krishna Dahal, Lead Career Coach  [:ne]२० फेब्रुअरी ,करियर दिशा नेपालले आफ्नो उद्देश्य अनुसार एस.ओ.एस भक्तपुरमा करियर परामर्श कार्यक्रम संचालन गर्यो | उक्त कार्यक्रममा १५-१७ वर्षका विद्यार्थीलाई नेपालमा रहेका विभिन्न पेशागत क्षेत्रहरुको बारेमा परामर्श प्रदान गरिएको थियो | विद्यार्थीहरुलाई नेपालमा रहेको विभिन्न पेशाको विविधता तथा तिनका अवसरहरु बारेमा अवगत गराउनु यसको मुख्य उद्देश्य रहेको थियो, साथै विभिन्न पेशाको लागि चाहिने सिप, क्रियाकलाप तथा रोजगारदाता,तथा संस्थाहरुको बारेमा पनि विस्तृत रुपमा चर्चा गरिएको थियो | कार्यक्रम बिहान ११ बजे शुरु भई ४ घन्टा सम्म चलेको थियो | विद्यार्थी र शिक्षकहरुले विभिन्न पेशागत क्षेत्रहरुमा भएका उपलब्धिहरुको बारेमा जानकारी तथा विद्यार्थीहरु माझ रहेका विभिन्न किसिमका जिज्ञासाहरुको रचनात्मक तथा सिर्जनात्मक दंगले व्याख्या गरि समाधान गर्नु भयो | “मलाई लागेको थियो कि विद्यार्थीहरु कार्यक्रममा त्यति इच्छुक भएर सामुहिक रुपमा संलग्न हुँदैनन् र लजाएर बस्छन | विद्यार्थीहरुमा आफ्नो इच्छा र शिक्षाको बारेमा धेरै अन्योलमा होला जस्तो लागेको थियो तर विद्यार्थीहरुले धेरै रमाइलोसंग सामुहिकरुपमा नेपालमा पाइने पेशाहरुको जानकारी हासिल गरे र तिनीहरुले नेपालमा रहेका करियरको बारेमा पनि प्रश्नहरु उठाए |” सुरेश कासुला “ अनुशासनको कारणले कल्पना गर्न सक्ने र सोच्ने क्षमताहरु घट्दै गएको पाए | कार्यक्रममा यो पनि पुष्टि भयो कि, विद्यार्थीहरुलाई प्रोत्साहन दियो भने तिनीहरुले धेरै कुरा सिक्न सक्छ | विद्यार्थीहरुलाई ‘तिमीले यो काम गर्नुपर्छ’ भन्दा पनि ‘यो काम गरे कसो होला’ भन्ने सोच अंकुरण गर्नु पर्ने आवश्यक देखें |” हरि कृष्ण दाहाल [:]

'The exploration of internal talent is the chief aim of education'.

Every individual is different from one to the next. The thought process, ability, personality are distinctive to every individual. Every person is somewhat born and brought up with some unique abilities. In place of giving priorities to the abilities that are innate in them, Nepali youth are almost forced to be ‘educated’ in a talent supressing environment. It is most unfortunate that students give way for their parents’, societies’ wants and needs while rejecting their own interests and passion. One of the reasons for this position is the limited financial support and increasing personal/family issues. Above that, majority of cases are those where the students are unaware of their abilities, inadequacies as well as their passion thus inevitably are left stranded.

We aim to provide a direction for all those youth who are uncertain about their inner passion, have limited knowledge about the educational fields as well as the career path they should choose so that it is advantageous for them in the near future. It is all possible with a research that has been computerized into an Online Test that helps the youth recognize his/her underlying capabilities. This Online Test analyses the simple yet sophisticated answers provided by the students to give various calculation that will finally display suitable career path for students and their vital educational requirements. This is possible as we have a data base of 350+ professions and more than 1000 educational institutes including various vocational institutes and numerous training centres. This technology was initially developed in various European nations run by their respective governing body. We have adapted that system from the scratch to suit our Nepali students, out-of-school and youth as a whole through the information provided by 3000+ experts across Nepal.

After the completion of this assessment, students will receive an extensive list of educational possibilities across Nepal for each of the compatible profession that was analysed. Furthermore, the student will also receive a wide range of specialized information regarding the difficulties, opportunities and perimeter of the career sector he/she is well-suited with. This computer based assessment creates an environment which we hope will be a guided-direction for their otherwise drifting career paths.

In the summer of 2015, 50 parents from around Bhaktapur were surveyed via a questionnaire that listed questions ranging from their education to the likelihood of them wanting their child to study in Nepal. By a vast majority, it was evident that parents regardless of where they lived (City or Village) or their level of education, that they were unaware of Career Coaching. However, it was overwhelming to see that over 84% of the parents were interested to have their children attend career counseling.

It does not take a lot for us to understand that most parents are worried about their children’s uncertain future. This was more popular amongst the parents whose highest education was Bachelors. At the same time it too was analyzed that parents with 2 or more children too were more “highly interested” than “interested”. Also, it was found that people preferred school as their number one most influencing source of information, be it about jobs or recommendation for educational institutes etc.

It was encouraging to see that all parents informed us that they provide freedom for their children and at the same time over 60% of the parents would regard the job recommended by the assessment earnestly.

Career Disha Nepal has just completed a market survey in Bhaktapur District on the opinions of Nepali parents on the career of their children and we are working on analyzing the results. We hope to have results by the middle of December 2015.

The happy message reached us yesterday. Career Disha Nepal got shortlisted for the support of the Employment Fund Nepal. The employment Fund Nepal, which is run by Helvetas and supported by the schweizer Eidgenossenschaft, UK Aid and the World Bank called in March for concept notes on innovative projects, which tackle the cross cutting issues of the TEVT (technical education and vocational training) here in Nepal. Career Counseling is not only there for higher education but for all kind of professions and career paths including technical education. Career Disha Nepal can bring change in the TEVT sector of Nepal by promoting and educating about technical education and vocational training as a valuable alternative to higher education. We hope to also reach the final round of this grant ...
