After high school graduation, choosing the right fields of study for ones higher education and overall career, is the most difficult task for today’s generation. Due to lack of information about the fields of study and their career prospects, as well as an inability to recognize their own potentials, wills and capabilities, these students choose opt for the wrong fields of study.

In addition to that, lack of proper guidance from parents/family’s side as well as school teachers also contribute to the wrong choices. These wrong choices not only make students’ lives difficult but also have adverse social and economic impacts.

Keeping this in mind, in order to fulfill its social responsibility, the Center of Business Administration (CBA) introduces “Aghaz Mentorship Program” with an aim to help the high school students in choosing the thriving career they deserve.
