Innocent Hearts School, Green Model Town, organised a career guidance and counselling seminar for students of Classes XI and XII under “Disha – An Initiative”, run and managed by the Bowry Memorial Educational and Medical Trust.
Students from the Loharan and Noorpur branches also joined the session virtually. The resource person was Amandeep Kaur, Regional Manager at Plaksha University, who addressed the students on the theme “STEM Pathways Beyond Medical and Engineering”.
Highlighting rapid technological changes, Kaur emphasised the growing importance of Artificial Intelligence and the need for students to develop skills suited to an evolving professional landscape.
She explained that career paths are increasingly becoming non-linear, giving students opportunities to explore different roles and fields over the course of their professional lives.
The session introduced students to interdisciplinary learning across areas including Artificial Intelligence, biosciences, humanities and economics. Kaur explained how combining knowledge from different disciplines can foster innovation and create diverse career opportunities.
She also highlighted the role of collective philanthropy in supporting education and shared information about Plaksha University’s Mohali campus and its Freshmore curriculum, which provides students with a broad academic foundation before specialisation.
While discussing subject choices, Kaur underlined the importance of Mathematics for technology-related career pathways, including certain options available to commerce students. She also discussed emerging opportunities in product development, computing, machine learning and entrepreneurship, encouraging students to contribute to India’s innovation and development.
A token of gratitude was presented to Kaur by Rajeev Paliwal, Principal, Innocent Hearts School, Green Model Town; Amit, Vice-Principal; and Dr Arjinder Singh, Principal, Innocent Hearts College of Education.
The seminar encouraged students to look beyond conventional career choices and make informed decisions based on their interests, strengths and aspirations.
