Majority of Indian youth is facing the 'problem' of choosing a solid career option, Taj Eduglobe Ltd aims to evaluate aptitude, core competency and interest level through its distinguish programmes.
People remember the first man who landed on moon, the first one who conquered the Himalayas. No one remembers the man who was close second. That's reality. Imagine, if Sachin Tendulkar tried to follow those careers instead of playing cricket? More than on an individual level, it would have been a national loss! Everyone has a winning streak in them which is not similar to the other one.
IRONICALLY, majority of Indian youth is facing the 'problem' of choosing a solid career option, hard to believe as it may sound in today's economy. However, for college going student or anyone facing a career choice, it can be an anxiety-producing situation. The most common advice that comes from family and friends, if a career has not been forced under a young child's throat already is to ‘follow your passion.’ However, what if you don't really have an obvious passion? Despite the many resources available in high school and college, it can seem like an overwhelming challenge to choose a career path.
Media has raving reports stating that the job market is looking up. The BFSI and IT sectors being the all time darling with 16 per cent and 32 per cent growth respectively. The manufacturing sector which closed the last fiscal at 18 per cent also has new hopes thanks to the ‘Make in India, push. The cherry on the pie is off course the online firms which broken its previous records by recruiting a whopping 85 per cent. What we are trying to do by discussing these figures is to drive home the fact that job opportunities are boundless. Are the youth of the country ready for it?
Bridging the gap
Every year 30 lakh graduates join the workforce, however, only 5 lakh prove to be employable. By 2025, India is expected to contribute 25 per cent of global workforce. Therefore, the magnitude of the challenge is enormous. Given the situation, do we have the time to waste for careers that are not meant for us? No way. The present generation is also shaking off traditional academic career and taking up more off beat and new age vocations. Education counselors have made it happen. Not just for the career aspirants and their parents, this has also been a boon for the job market. The industry can now get well motivated skilled workforce who can make constructive contribution towards the growth of the industry.

Making Career Counseling Less
Taj Eduglobe Ltd provides various services under Discover Brain. Discover Brain Psychometric test is based on RIASEC, a model designed by John L. Holland, which refers to the test of measuring an individual's relevant and present state of strengths and weaknesses. Every individual is born with eight Multiple Intelligences, which talk about their inherent strengths and weaknesses. Psychometric test, on the other hand, helps individuals to discover and understand their present distribution of Multiple Intelligences. Psychometric test (RIASEC Theory) helps to understand whether one is realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising or conventional.
Discover Brain DMIT (Dermato-glyphics Multiple Intelligences Test) is basically the study of fingerprints. As fingerprints are unique for every individual and are an external representation of gene, the Multiple Intelligences Distribution is also unique for each individual. They believe that it helps to understand the inborn grasping power and also nourishes students to pave their career paths, which is based on their strength and gives remedial measures to overcome their weaknesses.
METs (Mark Enhancement Techniques), is specially designed to train oneself to memorize and recall what you see, listen, smell and taste.
