“The workshops enabled synergy between the
minds of the parents and their children on
career choices. It gave focus to the children.
The children came back from the workshop
with new insights into what they can pursue in
terms of their future careers. It helped the
school in inspiring our children. Unlike other
career workshops, this one included
discussions with the parents who are the key
influencers in the decisions kids make about Mrs. Manjula Raman
their further education. It was indeed
enlightening and eye opening”.
