Career Intentionality
Why make her Career Intentional?
Desire and potential to study alone are not enough to be successful in life. Timely guidance and inspiration to graduate and take up tertiary jobs are also required to make every girl student career intentional. She may successfully complete her schooling, may lack the right support, guidance, motivation and encouragement from family and friends to inspire her graduate with good grades, to pursue tertiary education at college and eventually settle in a white collar job.
Project Puthri’s key enablers step in at this crucial phase of her life to guide & support her aspirations in the form of mentors, role models & career coaches and help her become Career intentional for life.
Why make her Career Intentional?
Career Intentionality, will give girls like her the much-needed confidence & opportunity to take up white collar jobs in big companies, earn well and contribute to the country’s GDP.
In addition, it will provide her with a safe and conducive environment, free from any kind of abuse and bring her and her family out of poverty to lead a healthy life, with good & nutritious food. Not just that, she will begin to make informed decisions about her marriage, childbirth etc and help her family & future generations to live a life of fulfillment in a world of endless positive possibilities.
