Peren, October 13 (MExN): A two-day seminar on career guidance, skills building, and livelihood was held for the youths of Peren district as part of YouthNet’s Impact 5000 by 18 campaign.
With unemployment increasing each day, the resource persons from YouthNet encouraged the students and youths look for opportunities and explore so that society can become more productive.
John Meyase from YouthNet, who is also the NBSE topper from his batch and topped Cl-12 topper from Karnataka University shared that while it is great to have a govt. job but you need to work hard and sacrifice for it.
One needs to work very hard to be able to clear the exams. Don’t look for a job through the back door or the one where you want maximum salary putting minimum effort, he added.
Follow a career which give you excitment and happiness to go to work everyday, he added.
Nune Chase, Head Trainer from YouthNet made the students do a few tests using SWOT, RAISEC technique to guide the students to know their interest, desire and passion.
She further said we need revisit how we are educating the students under the present education system.
Sometimes, for the fear of failure and defining success as doing well in exams only, young people are stopped from exploring their real creative talents like writing, music, construction, and engineering, Chase pointed out.
YouthNet through their young ambassadors also advocate for clean and fair election, which according to the organization, is the first step for any progress and development in the state.
Impact 5000 by 18 Campaign is a five-year joint programme of Nagaland launched in 2013. For 2016-17 Impact campaign, Quest Alliance, Bangalore and Accenture’s Skills to Succeed Initiative are partners. The program in Peren was supported by SYPT and their president Azing.
