With multiple dynamic career opportunities available now-a-days career counseling forms an important part of educational functionality, which can help students understand their strengths, weaknesses, and interests, and provide them with a clearer picture of their career paths.
And in this, two 16-year-old young Hrishit Deb and Sri Mansi Katuri have come up with their inventions – Kwicon, an app-based career counseling aimed at empowering students with transformative education, practical experience mentorship, and networking for personal and professional growth. This app was among top 400 innovative teams across India of the prestigious ATL Marathon 2022-23 which is Niti Aayog’s Atal Innovation Mission.
Kwicon has formulated a programme supported by a secure online technology platform specific to schools, or colleges that allows students and alumni to connect with each other based on shared interests, majors, and career goals. Students can use Kwicon to find mentors, learn about paths for further studies, career paths, internships and job opportunities, and get advice from alumni who have already been in their shoes.
