Professional Career… Choice of Health Care Education ?

This intriguing question puzzles both the parent and the students alike. Today’s world of education offers innumerable choices for the student to choose from. However it is the quality of education which would groom students into accomplished professionals of tomorrow.

To enhance their capabilities to choose from a wide spectrum, a vibrant course counseling session was held on Sunday, 20th May 2012 at the Sankara Nethralaya Academy premises at Haddows Road.

Dr. Karthikeyan, Director, Gemba School of HR, an eminent personality in the world of corporate training and placement, highlighted significant points on how the health care sector is currently booming and the multiple choices it offered for one to choose from and the vast scope of employment opportunities it had and the huge man power requirement in the years to come.

The counseling session had a beeline of both inquisitive parents and students seeking information on prospective avenues.
