Yachuli, Jan 31: The Keyi Panyor District Administration, in collaboration with the Wadhwani Foundation, organized a one-day training programme on Friday to strengthen career guidance and skill development in government schools across the district.
The programme introduced an AI-based Career Awareness and Guidance App, a joint initiative of the Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India, NCERT–PSSCIVE, and the Wadhwani Foundation. The application provides reliable and comprehensive career information to students, teachers, parents, and counsellors, making career exploration simple, structured, and accessible.
The platform highlights cross-sector livelihood opportunities and clearly explains future career pathways, enabling students to plan for future-ready and skill-based careers. As all resources available on the app are verified and approved by national education authorities, the platform ensures safe, quality, and trustworthy career guidance.
Through this technology-driven initiative, students receive accurate and guided career support, while teachers are empowered to mentor and guide students confidently in their respective schools.
While addressing the participants, Deputy Commissioner Shweta Nagarkoti, emphasized the importance of technology and Artificial Intelligence in helping students choose the right career paths. She highlighted that early career guidance at the school level is essential for students to understand their interests, abilities, and future opportunities.
The Deputy Commissioner explained the working and benefits of the AI-based Career Advisor App, which allows students to identify their passions through interest-based questions and receive suggestions on suitable career options, subject combinations, and skill pathways. 
She noted that the app would help students make informed career decisions and reduce confusion after completing school education.
She further stressed that teachers play a crucial role in the success of this initiative and urged them to thoroughly understand the application and spread awareness among students in their respective schools. Teachers were encouraged to actively use the learning from the training programme to guide students effectively.
The training included sessions on Career Counselling, Basics of Artificial Intelligence, Self-Presentation Skills, and Problem Solving and Innovation. Around 100 teachers, including TGTs, PGTs, and Headmasters/Principals from government schools of Keyi Panyor District, including Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV), Yachuli, participated. Officials from the Deputy Director of School Education (DDSE) office were also present.
The Wadhwani Foundation, established in 2000, is a not-for-profit organization working to promote job-oriented education and skill development, with the aim of helping young people build sustainable careers and dignified livelihoods.
The District Administration reaffirmed its commitment to improving the quality of education and career guidance in the district and urged teachers to take this initiative forward by guiding and enlightening students towards meaningful, skill-based, and job-oriented career paths.
This initiative reflects the District Administration’s vision of building a confident, skilled, and self-reliant future generation through informed career planning and modern educational  tools.
