One month hard work showed finally its results and we had our final meeting on the technical description. Jayanti our software mastermind. Until September 2014 we will focus on setting up the whole backend as well as the interface needed for the data collection. While the data collection is going on we will work on the interface of the test and the way we will show the results. The job and education databease will be the last part we will develop only in January / February 2015.
Unfortunately we could not make the last round of grants from the employment fund. 10 Projects which are more specific tailored to the target group of the employment fund got shortlisted.
We hereby want to congratulate all these projects and move on to other activites. Bettina made a few good contacts during the Nepal Tag (Nepal Day) in Germany as well as we decided to go for a crowd-funding campaign this summer.
Funding is of course one of the most difficult parts of any social business start-up, but we are confident, that we will find our way to make our idea happen.

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 ...
