An Integrated Approach for Counselling for Professional Growth in Technicians and Engineers

A review of the existing counseling services reveals the inadequacy of trained staff, paucity of data/information, and disconnected networks of the Institute of Applied Manpower Research, NTIMS Units and the Technical Institutes, Directorate of Technical Education, and considering the problems faced by the students and their parents, an integrated approach for counseling technicians and engineers for professional growth is developed. The proposed approach integrates the existing resource institutes and provides an active platform for networking which will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the technical education system.
