Teachers and principals

This program is open for School Teachers, School Principals, Educators, and Counsellors. Participation in this certification program is free.

The knowledge gained from this workshop will not only benefit your students but also enhance your skills as educators and mentors, say sources from IITMPTF.

Our goal with this collaboration is to make a meaningful impact by enabling teachers to serve as effective career counsellors within their schools, said Balamurali of IITMPTF.

Teachers play an essential role in helping students build the foundation for a fulfilling career, he said.

The Chief Knowledge Officer (CKO) of IITMPTF further said career counselling certification is a perfect opportunity for every teacher to develop the knowledge, skills, and expertise needed to become a career counsellor.

This certification program aims to equip all teachers with the knowledge, tools and strategies to play an even more significant role in guiding and supporting students in making informed decisions about their career paths, said Balamurali of IITMPTF.

Teachers are often the first counsellors they encounter on their journey toward their future careers. In the modern educational landscape, the responsibilities of teachers have expanded beyond traditional teaching roles, he said.

‘They are increasingly expected to guide and support students in making crucial career-related decisions.’

By providing this training free of cost, we are committed to creating accessible pathways for teachers to develop skills that can shape the futures of countless students, he said.

Careers

Teachers can introduce students to a range of careers, including emerging fields in technology, arts, sciences, and trades, which may not have been as common in the past.
