The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has collaborated with UNICEF to set up an online portal for career guidance and counseling for students. This initiative seeks to help young people, especially girls, to gain knowledge and skills for self-development and to transition smoothly from school to higher education or work, a CBSE statement said. 

To support Class 9 to 12 students manage their career pathways and lifelong learning, UNICEF, and several state governments and private sector has customized career portals in regional languages. The online portal, the official statement said, will help the student’s access educational and work-related resources and opportunities. The career portal is also available as a mobile application. The Portal can be accessed at cbsecareerguidance.com

The portal is linked to the CBSE main portal. All CBSE School students will be able to sign up on the portal with their details and access a personalized career dashboard that will also be accessible to teachers and administrators.

The portal will also have a Career Counselor, or Teacher Dashboard. Two teachers or counselors per school will be trained on the portal through a digital training session and given a personal counselor dashboard to access the entire career curriculum and use it to guide the students for their career queries. This will build their knowledge base on career guidance.
