The one day Free Career Counselling Workshop of TPF Kolkata Branch was held on 10th April 2011 at Mahasabha Bhavan, Kolkata with participation of nearly 150 Terapanthi students of class nine onwards to Graduates from eminent schools and colleges.

The base line of the Workshop was to help prospective generation to understand their hidden talent in a scientific way via psychological tests, interactive counselling by experts, an open round of questioning and expert advises from well known professionals of various fields.

The workshop began with the holy chanting of Namaskar Mahamantra by all present. The Program was very well anchored jointly by Ms. Yogina Kochar, Jt. Secretary-TPF Kolkata and Sri Gautam Dugar.

Shri Prakash Chand Maloo, President-TPF Kolkata Branch welcomed all guests & participants and emphasized upon the need and importance of such Career Counselling Programs among the students. He also said that the youth is full of talent. If the talent is harnessed properly, it will not be lost in oblivion.

Shri Sushil Choraria, National Jt. Secretary and National Convenor said that for the guidance of children such events should be organised regularly. Such events prove useful for the basic humane value foundation of any child. He also informed that such Workshops are also being organised at other TPF branches across the country. He also read out the Holy blessings and Message of Acharya Shri Mahashramanji and Mangal Bhavna Message of Munisri Rajneesh Kumarji. The message was on enforcing the moral development in student life and also the members of the Forum were appreciated for their contribution.

Shri N.K.Shyamsukha, National President-TPF briefed the participants about how such events help them in shaping up their career and said that if the students get right direction in the right time, it will be a boost to their confidence..

The workshop was well conducted by renowned career counsellor Sri Jai Shankar G., a post graduate from IIM, Kolkata and a certified quality facilitator from Philip Crosby Quality Institute. Choosing the field according to one’s interest and capability and then pursuing the same with conviction leads to success that is what Mr. Jaishankar had to say to the gathering.

By illustrating live cases and thought provoking deliberations, he made the atmosphere extremely electrifying and involved each and every participant to understand and realise their inherent strengths to opt their best suited career prospects.

Sri Prakash Nahata, well known Career Counsellor and Head, TPF National Career Counselling Committee, made excellent Presentation on the concept of Career Counselling and the method of Psychometric Tests to know one’s own interest and skill and how to select best suitable career among various options available today. With the help of power point presentation he explained how students can achieve their objective of being successful.

As an important and decisive part of the workshop, all the participants appeared for Guilford-Zimmerman Interest Inventory and New PI psychological tests in four different class rooms. The Tests were self scored by the participants under the guidance of Shri Jaishankar and Shri Prakash Nahata.
