Education Minister Botcha Satyanarayana said on January 2 that the state government is in talks with industry representatives to help university students find paid training.

In his speech after the official launch of the Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE) 'Career Guidance Tool' designed for students of various higher education programs, he thanked the minister for the excellent work of the Commission. He said the difference from before is the following: The story goes like this. Building on the practice of providing career guidance only in the second or final year, as students have already gone through different pathways, this toolkit is designed to provide vital advice and support to young people from day one of their degree program until the end of graduation it's done.

“It provides students with semester-wise action plans, elucidates the essential skills required to acquire domain expertise, and underscores the importance of cultivating soft skills,” he said.

APSCHE officials explained that the career toolkit equips students with the necessary resources, skills and strategies to effectively navigate their academic and professional journey, helps them identify their strengths, weaknesses, interests and values and facilitates self-discovery helping the students in the selection of suitable career path.

This toolkit will teach students interview preparation techniques and help them confidently share their experiences, skills, and goals during a job interview. We also foster an entrepreneurial mindset by providing tools to students who want to start their businesses or contribute to innovative initiatives in existing organizations. Director General, Department of Higher Education J. Syamala Rao, APSCHE Chairman K. Hemachandra Reddy, Vice Chairman K. Rama Mohan Rao, vice-chancellor P. Uma Maheswara Devi, Secretary Y. Nazeer Ahammed and others were present.
