Bengaluru, Dec 18 (NationPress) As India prepares to create a workforce equipped for the future in emerging careers and technologies, the AI-driven talent assessment platform HireMee has launched a groundbreaking tool aimed at helping students make well-informed decisions regarding their academic and professional journeys.
The Bengaluru-based firm unveiled the Career Navigation Assessment, a scientifically crafted tool designed to assist students in Classes X, XI, and XII (ages 14-18) by aligning their distinct personality traits, aptitudes, and interests with suitable career options.
“This cutting-edge psychometric assessment addresses the increasing demand for personalized career advice, providing students with a dependable, engaging, and actionable means to navigate this crucial stage of their lives,” stated Venkatraman Umakanth, SVP and Head at HireMee.
The online assessment is available for students to take at their convenience from home, with a comprehensive report sent via email shortly after completion, according to the company. The evaluation employs immersive, real-world scenarios to engage students, effectively minimizing social desirability bias and promoting honest and reflective answers.
These scenarios foster critical thinking and yield accurate insights into students’ inherent preferences and capabilities. By integrating these components, the assessment produces customized career suggestions that align with each student’s strengths, ambitions, and motivations.
“Driven by the belief that Indian youth should pursue careers that reflect their aspirations, the panel was selected to ensure diversity in expertise, capturing a range of viewpoints on content appropriateness and relevance to culture,” remarked Chocko Valliappa, Vice Chairman of the Sona Group of Institutions and CEO of Vee Technologies.
Since its launch in 2017, the HireMee platform has assisted over 700,000 students in obtaining assessments at no cost, with more than 270,000 students securing interviews with various companies.
Recently, the University Grants Commission (UGC) released a ‘Draft Guidelines for Implementation of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in Higher Education,’ aimed at facilitating access to higher education and enabling individuals who have gained skills through non-formal and informal learning to enroll in higher education programs.
The UGC indicated that these guidelines create varied and flexible pathways for individuals from diverse educational backgrounds and learning experiences to pursue higher education based on their demonstrated competencies.
