Bengaluru, Karnataka, Eduquity Career Technologies, the leading HR assessment organization today announced that the company along with the Department of Psychology, Bangalore University is organizing EduQuest 2010 - a one-day Seminar on Career Planning, on Saturday Jan 9, 2010 at Jnana Jyoti Auditorium, Central College, Bangalore. The Seminar will enlighten students on different careers they could embark on, prevent them from limiting themselves and help them realize their potential.

Eduquity Career Technologies, with their new career assessment PathFinder is helping students put their feet on the right path for success and, ultimately, fulfillment in the career that they choose. The career assessment from Eduquity is designed to help students identify their true talents and potential and determine the careers that they are best fit for, based on their interests, abilities and their personalities.

"In the context of our educational system and our current economic challenges, we should be targeting high school students as key human resources for our nation ability to produce a workforce that is ready to succeed and compete in the global economy," said Mr. R Dhirendra, CEO, Eduquity Career Technologies.

The need to build the foundation for college and career readiness well before they finish high school is a topic that has at times been overshadowed on a crowded education reform agenda. An Independent market research conducted by Eduquity Career Technologies indicates that large numbers of students are going to emerge from their Pre University courses realizing that they may have wasted two precious years of their lives doing a course which was not required or end up in a career which would not have been their best and preferred choice. There is a clear requirement of career assessment and planning and Eduquity Career Technologies offers several recommendations to educators and policymakers on how to improve college and career readiness among high school students.

The EduQuest 2010 sessions would offer free admission to students of 9th/ 10th standard and 1st and 2nd PU (Pre University) and will focus on career planning. Eminent speakers from different fields such as Law, Marketing and Sales, Chartered Accountancy, Advertising and Media, Vocational training, Applied sciences and Airlines industry will share their experiences and what they think the future holds for the students in these domain areas. New careers and careers not covered in the previous year Seminar will be focused upon.
