📌 Problem Statement Breakdown

• What is the problem: We have all been there, where we either had no idea what to do after 10th & 12th or even if we did then we had no idea what an actual career in the field would entail.
• Why is there a problem? - Institutions like Schools and Colleges are not equipped enough to give the students the exposure to the upcoming fields, and trends in the job market, which is an issue which needs to be dealt with.
• When is the problem occurring? - Once the student reaches a crossroad like 10th or 12th after which the education system branches out.
• Where is it occurring? - In schools and tutoring institutes.
• Who is facing it? - Students after 10th and 12th grades, as they are not in a stage to choose the career path that is in tune with their skills and interests.

📌 Reasons for choosing this Problem Statement

• As per a report, about 67% of India's population is in the working-age of 15-64. A majority of this is in the 15-30 years age bracket.
• Personally connected to this problem statement and there are still a lot of students in this situation
• A lot of students are not aware if certain careers exist until their graduation or till they land their first job.
• Institutions like Schools and Colleges are not equipped enough to give the students the exposure to the upcoming fields, and trends in the job market.
• Students are influenced by parental pressure and peer pressure to take up careers that they might not be interested in.
