Guwahati, Sept 25, 2022: the North East Regional Youth Commission has conducted a two-day workshop on career guidance, capacity building and entrepreneurship development for the young people of northeastern India.
The aim of the September 22-23 workshop at Inspiration Building in Guwahati’s Kharguli suburb was to empower the youth to make informed career choice, said Sister Aluti Rabba, the coordinator of the commission’s woman and youth.
“By the end of these two days of training, all of you will not only be able to make better career choice but also become job creators,” the member of the Missionary Sisters of Mary Help of Christians told the participants.
Ninety participants from various colleges and universities around Guwahati town attended the resourceful training program led by Anjan Chowdhury, senior training consultant from Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship and Ranjan Baruah, career mentor and skill trainer in Guwahati.
Commission chairman Bishop George Pallipparambil of Miao says northeastern India has so much talent and that such training “will indeed help our youth to discover themselves, their strength and areas of interest.”
The participants expressed happiness over the outcome of the training. Bratati Sarmah, a student from Handique College, Guwahati, said, “The training has enhanced my self-awareness, interpersonal and communication skills and has helped me to identify my areas of strength.”
Apart from motivation and skill development, the training has helped the youth to enhance their entrepreneurial abilities to establish successful enterprises, said Mary Joseph, another participant from the University of Science and Technology, Meghalaya.
“I am glad I attended this workshop. I now return to my university with the right motivation to look forward to my future with positive spirit to make informed career choice in life,” said another participant.
