Educating children is an investment in their futures, and in peaceful and prosperous societies. Every child has the fundamental right to quality education – one that helps them acquire basic literacy and numeracy, enjoy learning without fear, and feel valued and included, irrespective of where they come from.

 According to UNESCO, 2004 “Understanding what quality means varies between countries. Different education actors and organizations also have their own definitions. However, most tend to agree on three broad principles: the need for relevance, for equity of access and outcome, and for proper observance of individual rights.”It is believed that good education is the one, which makes person better. Quality education is the most important issue of today’s world. The more educated you are the better life you live and in today’s world, good and quality education means higher earnings, good health, and positive wellbeing.

Quality education is also one of the main agendas of any nation for Sustainable Development. There is a lot of difference between education and quality education. Quality Education is not one that is measured purely by a test score or by how many words per minute a 5-year-old can read. Going back to these simplified measurements is to do a disfavor to both the student and the phrase Quality Education itself.

What determines the quality of an education?

The whole ranking system cannot determine the quality of education. There are many programs, which are invested in teaching while others are torn between teaching and research. All of the factors in the quality of an education are important like curriculum, teachers etc. However, it is not that one curriculum is better than another, simply different. The idea is to find the right program for you. A motivated student is important and the best feeling is to see smiling young faces to learn. Quality of education is determined by the teachers’ willingness to engage and interact with his or her students, to capture their attention and to refocus on their interest, not only learning new knowledge, but on accepting new knowledge. 

SEE’s result is out. The students all around Nepal are now haphazardly struggling to answer the ONE question their parents are raising; ‘Are you going to choose Commerce, Management, Law, Education or Science in your +2?’

We have come a long way...from parents dictating the academic and career course of their children to today allowing the youths to decide for themselves the academic courses they might want to study. There is however something parents, teachers and youths inherently ignored, the technical and vocational training (VT) of Nepal’s Formal Education System.

This Shrawan 21 (in Kathmandu Valley) and Mangsir 12 (outside the valley) various different skill testing certification examination’s forms are going to be distributed. (You can check out the detailed deadlines in the NSTB website) From this article, we wanted to explore the uncharted territory of the misunderstood and under-represented vocational training. Hopefully, after reading this article you will better understand the vocational training (VT) scenario or even give vocational training a try.

7 things that are mostly unknown to most people about Vocational Training (VT)

You can get certified

1. Similar to academics, VT too is segregated according to complexity as well as level of competence. The first entry level is called Elementary level, and then Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and finally Level 4.
2. Similar to academics where you get undergraduate certificate, graduate as well Doctorate; you too can get various certification that can help you get better jobs and take you further in your career. Therefore respectively; Elementary (Technical), Non Gazette 3^rd Class (i.e. Mukhiya), Non Gazette 2^nd Class (i.e. Khardar), Non Gazette 1^st Class (i.e. Subba) and finally Gazette 3^rd Officer (Diploma).
3. You are able to apply for various Governmental jobs with the above certification. For example, if the government requires a Khardar in technical area, you are able to apply for that job with Level 2 certification.

4. Experience counts;

• You don’t always have to go through the formal training to apply for examination for Level 1, Level 2 and level 3. Experience in the respective fields of 1 year to appear for level 1 exam, 3 years for level 2 and 5 years for level 3 is valid to appear for exams. This allows for youths around the whole country to get certified and to explore their career in formal setting.

5. Target group is not only those who fail academic courses!

• The target group of VT skill tests are; pass-out from pre-employment vocational training wishing to facilitate their transition to work, experienced workers lacking an official certification and workers who, at the end of in-service training, seek an upgraded or additional certificate.

6. Current and Future job demand is high!

• More and more technical based factories as well as companies are demanding for technically sound professionals that have hands on experience as well as are certified. Meaning, there is a HUGE job possibility for those who have Level-1 to Level-4 certificates in today’s market.

7. Training institutes are getting better

• Since the duration of the trainings are lot shorter than all academic courses (starting from 160 hrs to 1500 hrs), it is cheaper and more effective for employment to take VT as a form of career-based education. Contrary to popular belief, there are many professional grade institutes (private, public or community based) around Nepal that provide quality-training courses for fraction of the cost of academic courses.

We wanted to shed some light on the current outlook of the VT as well as skill testing and certification in Nepal. You might not want to take the VT route for your career, it is your choice but there are many youths that are struggling with academics (SEE, +2 and Bachelor) and we as a society have focused on their as the only mean of getting jobs in Nepal.

Do share this article to people who you know might benefit from taking VT as their education pathway rather than academics. We have collected a few success stories of professionals who have chosen VT and have become the leaders in their respective fields. Check them out!

“My name is Sunita. I am a management student of I.J. Pioneer High School. I choose my education based on holistic career counseling approach. I did not know what to study even after SEE.  I got the opportunity to take the Psychometric Assessment through my friend. Assessment was the set of questionnaires that recommended me the list of jobs that I can pursue. I didn’t understand the Psychometric Assessment Result for the first time. Fortunately, to clear that confusion, Career Counselor took the group discussion session. That time I get to know that the recommended list of jobs appears based on my personality, professional orientation, interest and vocational tasks. The assessment doesn’t cover my physical strength and socio-economic backgrounds. However, the individual counselling after the result was more than I expected! After that session, I felt more comfortable to pick the education for a career that best fits me according to my interest, abilities, values and economic perspective. I am really glad that I have the logical reason to pursue an education track that I chose.  I knew so many of my seniors who continued their education without understanding themselves clearly and studying further based on the SEE (Secondary Examination Education) grade and change the subject later. Fortunately, I did holistic career counseling on time and made the entire plan sitting with the experts to reach my destination. Otherwise, I might have been an unsuccessful story for my juniors. “

According to British Association of counseling, they term counseling as the process by which a person having a problem or needs to make a decision is facilitated to identify, explore, and examine alternative courses of action and their possible consequences.

Career counseling is the process, generally focusing on issues like career and education confusion, career goal, and career plan where career counselor and counselee sit together and discus about the career and education track and explore the individual career potentials, make career and education plan, and solve other career related problems through question answer approach and psychometric tools and techniques. Career Counseling session can be done either in a group and as an individual.  

In every country, youth face the challenge of deciding on a career path and starting their professional lives (Athanansou, 2008).  In Nepal, there is also an urgent need of career counseling for youth to choose best fitting career according to the individual interest, abilities, values, and socio-economic prospective and job demands. In our society most of the youth tend to choose the career and education according to their friends and relatives suggestion and also use to follow the trend. Most of the research shows that pursuing a career based on individual interest and abilities leads personal satisfaction and professional success.

Choosing a certain career is one of the important decisions of one’s life which is often tedious. Knowingly and unknowingly a wrong career decision leads to live the 40-50 years of life with the profession you don’t’t like.  

One of the career counseling beneficiaries, Pratima Tamang’ told us that “One-hour session with career counselor played the revolutionary role to add more excitements in my life. I was unknown about my career potential then. Now that I am under proper guidance, I decided my career and education make a career plan, know the responsibilities of the chosen career with the help of career counselor.”

That’s why career counseling for youth and adolescents is the beneficial to decide the best fitting career, explore the potential, design the career life and to have a successful and happy life.

“The Online Assessment I took from CDN considerably has helped me figure out what I really want out of my life. It has helped me to look into the possible career paths that will be supposedly compatible with my fancy and my essential nature. Not only this, the career counselling I took from CDN has helped me look into areas where I can excel and foster professionally. I am, now absolved of the confusions I beheaded before I took the Assessment. I wouldn’t have known myself better and figure out what kind of job best suits me. As far as the Assessment is concerned, I wouldn’t have believed anything more fervently than that. It was very authentic, and by the end, I was like “Awesome! This is the kind of job I always wanted to do.” Palishtha Ranjitkar, Khopo College, Bhaktapur

When I was at the secondary level, my teachers and relatives used to ask the significant question of entire life ‘what do you want to be in future’. I felt like that was the toughest question I have ever faced. Most of the answers from my friends and cousins were ‘I want to be a thulo manchhe’, meaning famous person. In my case, I didn’t know the definition of the Thulo Manchhe. However, I felt that was the best answer I can give at that moment. Most of the times, I got a pat on my shoulder that left be proud as it would be a heavy “Very good”. In some exceptional cases, I would be asked 2nd biggest question ‘what job you will do for a living “or similar question. My instant answer was “A Nurse”. As I used to visit hospitals with my mom in my childhood for a regular medical check-up, I would fantasize myself wearing the white apron, and the cap like the nurses did there.  I was impressed by the dresses they wore and the way they handled the patients. That was the nicest job I ever knew. I had no clue about how to become one and what works they did except wearing the clean and white beautiful dresses and in some cases Saree as well. I did not know if I would love the job’s responsibilities of a nurse. After SLC (SEE at present), I gave entrance for Staff Nurse in Government Hospital with full excitement after getting the information from my Chimeki dd (neighbour). Unfortunately, I did not get through the entrance examination. And that was the end.  I was devastated as I felt like there were no other options that I opt for. I felt like I didn’t have any direction to go forward on that day. However, I had to continue studying and following with the trend; I joined my +2 (high school) without picturing what would I become after studying this.  I was just focused on my studies without having any particular destination.

One day, I got sick and was hospitalized for a week. That moment became the game changer of my life. I realized that the job that impressed me during my childhood was not the one I would enjoy. My values, my interest, and abilities were different from that a successful nurse should have. That day I realized, if I were a Nurse, it would be so difficult to do my duty during the night shift.  It would be monotonous to follow the same routine every day.  I could not imagine successful and happy me if I were a Nurse. I silently thanked God for having not passed the entrance examination. 

Even more doubtful than ever, I questioned myself, “What job best fits me then?”. Instead of browsing regular social media that day, I googled how a person finds the best-fitted career. Upon research, I found the Psychometric Assessments. I looked if there are any such assessments designed for Nepal, and Bingo, Career Disha Nepal has it. Yes, youths, you can discover what is the best for you by knowing who you are, what your interests are, what career is best for you based on the personalities you have, what educational track or training you need to become that ideal yourself through this Psychometric Assessment Test that too with just Rs. 200. There are abundant opportunities in Nepal that need to be explored.

Psychometric Assessment is quite a new term in Nepal. However, in Europe and America, it is mandatory for the last many decades. Career Disha Nepal teams are working to help Nepali youth to find individual inbred potentials through online and offline Psychometric Assessment all over Nepal. I would say Psychometric Assessment is the blueprint of who you are, your personality, interest and how far you can go. Psychometric Assessment is the single psychological tool in Nepal that helps individual to reflect themselves precisely who they are.

We can use this Assessment in various settings, and youths use it to test their personalities, professional interests, and vocational interests through the Assessment. There are altogether four segments one has to give responses to according to their interest and how they react to a different situation(s). The system then analyses the filled information and shows the individuals’ personality profile and the matching jobs for the same. It gives out the individual profile along with the matching jobs and required educational information or training for each recommended professions.

Before you go for the board examination test, PLEASE take your life test and explore the best of you, the best options for you and hence the best educational track to reach there. In brief, Psychometric Assessment designed by CDN helps you to:

1.    Find out the individual personality

2.    Understand self-better

3.    Find out potential career paths

4.    Pick the right education and career

5.     Enhance the potential

6.    Find out the list of interest

Career orientation is the workshop to provide necessary information about the labour market for youths to prepare them to select the right education and career path on right time. Such a workshop is very essential for all youth to reach a particular destination they are made for. It is especially urgent for Secondary Education Examination (SEE) appeared students as this group the most vulnerable age group, the turning point of student’s life and the phase where people usually make a mistake regarding career choices in Nepal. This is the age where most of them have a less clue or not at all about what to do next.

2. To avoid misconception about career selection

Most of us choose a career based on trend, family and friend’s choices. Not only that, but we also categorize the job's level and then select the career accordingly.
