Global Interns Nigeria advocates career guidance for students

Global Interns Nigeria, a student-centred organisation, has emphasised that importance of career guidance for students in Nigeria.

The organisation said in a statement on Tuesday that most students had been stereotyped to pursue certain professions without considering their capabilities.

In view of this, the organisation said it planned to organise its first career guidance workshop tagged: ‘The Career Connect Series’ for students in secondary schools and universities.

According to the statement, the workshop, which is aimed at enhancing the perception of students on the right career path and prospects associated with them, will feature facilitators from various professions to address critical issues students encounter when making career choices.

The Chief Executive Officer, Global Interns Nigeria, Mrs. Olufunmilayo Modupe, said there was a need to groom and properly guide today’s youths on career paths.

She stated that the workshop would help teenagers to understand the meaning of career choices through engaging sessions suitable for learning and networking.

Modupe further explained that students were stereotyped when making career decisions, which were sometimes in line with the desire of their parents, without looking at the prospects or satisfaction in their choices.
