According to statistics, 44% Indian youth say career counselling is important for them but only 1 out of 10 students receive career guidance in India, 93% of Indian schools don’t have career counsellors leading to 77% drop out after class 10. India needs 1.4 million career counsellors to achieve the standard ratio of 250:1 (students: counselor) prescribed by International School Counsellors Associations (ISCA). Though the problems of decreased awareness, parental and peer influence, and confusion are similar both in India and western countries, it is more intense here due to the large population and demographic. As per various reports, the market size for career assessment & guidance is over Rs. 5,000 crore in India and is continuously growing.
Commenting on the program, Ayush Bansal, Founder & CEO, iDreamCareer, said,” The need and importance of career counselling and the lack of it in India is very evident from the above statistics. What we are trying to do through our program is to create a pool of high quality, well-trained career counsellors across the nooks and corners of India.” “ A very interesting facet of the program is that over 80% undergoing it are women professionals who have taken a break and for whom career counselling provides a well-paying career opportunity while allowing them the flexibility they so require in their life. In a way this itself is a remarkable story of how at home women professionals are embracing and benefiting from the gig economy,” he further added.
