Guiding Through the Road to Success
Career counselling is important for all students, be it for those from urban schools or rural ones. It helps them in understanding their strengths and weaknesses as well as the career opportunities they can pursue once they graduate. Unfortunately, for children from underprivileged homes and studying in government schools, career counselling is a luxury they cannot afford and have little access to.
We realised that coming from impoverished backgrounds should never be a reason for a child being deprived of exploring their interests and opportunities. With this agenda in mind, we launched the career-counselling program Saarthi to provide these underprivileged students with career counselling. Over 500 of our Hero FinCorp employees have volunteered to support this initiative.
This program is a collaboration between Hero FinCorp, RKMF and iDreamCareer.
