Career Awareness Programs in Schools & Colleges
At Youth Career and Development Hub (YCDH), we believe that early career guidance can change the future of a generation. In Bangladesh, most students complete their education without clear guidance on career options, skill requirements, or job market realities. This often leads to wrong career choices, unemployment, or underemployment.
To bridge this gap, YCDH conducts Career Awareness Programs across schools and colleges — both in urban and rural areas. Our programs are designed to help students explore career opportunities, understand future job market demands, and develop essential life and employability skills.

Project Proposal
School/College Based Career Awareness and Skill Development Project
Initiative by: Youth Career and Development Hub
Background:
At present, a large number of students at the SSC and HSC levels are becoming increasingly indifferent toward their future careers. They are spending excessive time on mobile phones, engaging in online gambling, skipping classes, losing respect for teachers, ignoring parental guidance, and showing little to no interest in skill development. This situation is alarming and poses a long-term threat to our nation’s human resource development.
To address this growing crisis, the Youth Career and Development Hub has initiated a school/college-based Career Awareness and Skills Development Program, aiming to create future-ready, responsible, and skilled young individuals. This proposal is designed for implementation in one school or college, and donors may choose to fund one or multiple institutions based on their interest and capacity.
Project Objective:
Raise career awareness among school and college students.
Reduce mobile and online gaming addiction through engagement in productive activities.
Promote regular class attendance and respect for teachers and parents.
Introduce skill-building aligned with market demand.
Foster entrepreneurial mindset and social responsibility.
Key Activities (For One School/College – One-Year Plan):

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Career Awareness Opening Program | Once | A major event at the beginning of the year to introduce the initiative to students, parents, and teachers. |
| 2 | Skill Development Workshops | 2 times/year | Includes soft skills (communication, leadership) and hard skills (IT basics, digital design, freelancing). |
| 3 | Career Counseling Sessions | 3 times/year | One-on-one and group sessions to guide students in planning their academic and career paths. |
| 4 | Class Attendance Reward System | Monthly | Incentives and recognition for regular attendance. |
