Career Aware Programme in Goa
ECOSYSTEM STRENGTHENING

For each child to have a holistic educational experience, galvanising the larger ecosystem of concerned adults who can enable schools to get better is crucial. This can include representatives from local industry who could provide career guidance to students or the local village librarian who could read aloud to children or local volunteers who can support in a variety of ways. 

In private schools, the leader of the school often draws on a variety of stakeholders to enrich the learning experience of children. We aim to support complex leaders (who can be high school or middle school heads who lead 5-10 other primary schools in the neighbouring area) to activate the ecosystem around their schools and draw in every single adult who can contribute to making their school better.

Programme's Aim

The programme focuses on talks by expert speakers and exposure visits to local industries, which helps secondary school students learn more about the various career options that are available to them.
The outcomes of this programme so far have included:
  1. Increased awareness about locally available careers among students.
  2. Participation by 54 industries and 60 speakers, along with a repository of 15 videos of local speakers and their career journeys.
  3. An increased recognition by teachers and zonal officers that career awareness is an important metric of holistic school quality. Antarang Foundation enabled us to conduct 3 sessions with teachers to help them understand what career guidance entails.
