Gurugram : Sunstone, one of India's leading higher education service providers with a presence across 30 cities in 40+ institutions, arrived in Gurugram’s GD Goenka University with India’s first Career Counseling Centre on wheels - The Career Coach. The initiative is aimed at helping undergraduate aspirants choose the right career opportunities and provide them an immersive experience of Sunstone’s offerings.
After starting its journey from EMPI New Delhi, the ‘career coach’ would travel a distance of around 4000 kms covering three prominent states and 21 cities within a period of 60 days. In Gurugram, the Career Coach van was present for 2 days.
With India’s first career counseling centre on wheels, Sunstone aims to democratize career counseling for students, free of cost. Sunstone understands the dilemma of students in choosing the right career path, hence envisions to help students understand their inner strengths, aptitude and aspirations through this initiative. As a part of its ‘Career Check’ interactive test, Sunstone provides career plans for multiple career trajectories based on different career domains - both tech and non-tech. Counselors will provide students with a snapshot of career options with respect to their aspirations and also recommend which program to choose in order to accomplish the same.
Speaking at the launch of the Career Counseling on Wheels, Mr. Piyush Nangru, Co-Founder and COO, Sunstone said, “We are thrilled to launch India’s first-ever ‘Career Counselling Centre on Wheels’. With the aim to bridge industry-academia skill gap, Sunstone has been relentless in its pursuit of tapping the regional market and bridging accessibility gap. This first ever Career Coach is aimed at informing students about their options and not letting them restrict themselves because of a lack of guidance. Through interactive solutions like VR, we aim to create a student-friendly environment and provide one-stop solutions for all their higher education queries.
The career coach will travel through cities like Gurugram and beyond to reach to students and provide counselling at early stages which helps students align their career choices and aspirations. At Sunstone, we seek to attain complete student-centricity by first providing guidance at an academic level and then offering tailor-made courses to enhance their employment opportunities.”
