The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to organize a series of virtual workshops focused on career development for students, parents, teachers, principals, and counselors. The workshops aim to offer guidance to participants in making informed decisions regarding career paths. Each week, a workshop will be held, targeting a specific group. The recorded sessions will also be accessible on CBSE’s official YouTube channel – youtube.com/@cbsehq1905.
These specially tailored workshops by CBSE will equip attendees with a holistic approach to career guidance and decision-making process. CBSE has released a schedule for the workshops containing details such as the date, time, topic, speakers, registration, and webinar links.
The schedule for the CBSE virtual workshops is as follows

Himanshu Gupta, secretary of CBSE, encourages active participation in the live sessions via Webex or livestream. Additionally, participants of the workshops for principals, teachers, and counselors who submit the session feedback form within 24 hours of the live session conclusion will receive a certificate of participation. For those unable to attend the live sessions, recordings will be made available on CBSE’s official YouTube channel.
The workshop, tailored for CBSE school students, highlights the importance of reflective thinking as a crucial skill for nurturing self-reliance in recognizing their individual talents and abilities. Creating an environment that promotes self-discovery, the students will be guided to identify their inherent strengths and ways to align them with future educational and career opportunities, as per the board's statement.
The primary objective is to provide students with practical methods for consistently evaluating their capabilities and adjusting to the changing dynamics of the job market and education landscape. This will ensure a lifelong synergy between their strengths and their chosen career paths.
