Overview

Margdarshak® is a not-for-profit national career guidance service under the aegis of Careerlinked Education Council, which is an apex organization set up under section 8 of MCA Government of India for making policies and planning to meet the urgent requirements of career education and bridge the gap between degrees and career competencies. Margdarshak transforms lives and shapes the destiny of individuals. To provide authentic and impartial career development services to students at their career building stages a Career Achievement Programme (CAP) has been launched and a nationwide network of professionally trained Career Advisors is being created. Our core competencies are in managing a person's career from ambition till achievements. We have developed appropriate and effective pedagogical tools, learning & skills management system and career assessment technology, helpful in career planning and improving chances of success in life. Margdarshak is dedicated to educate and empower young people to manage and own their career success. Through career awareness, employability skills, and work readiness, we effectively engage them in their own career development and contribute to the strength of their families and societies. Our activities take place on an individual or group basis and face-to-face or distance mode. They include career information provision, self-assessment tools, managing studies, work search, and transition services. Our holistic view of the career sector enables us to lead, define, practice and develop resources improving the quality of career decision making by students and their parents by providing advisor-delivered, authentic and impartial career guidance which opens the doors of success. The career decision-making services available to students at school and college are pathetically ineffective. Perhaps more than 94% of us are in the wrong career. This is an unrecognized national disgrace in a country like India.
