In a landmark move towards improving educational outcomes and career readiness among youth, Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant formally launched the Goa Career Navigator-2025, a comprehensive career counselling program designed for students of Classes 9 to 12 across the state.
The launch ceremony, held in Panaji, was hosted by the Goa State Council of Educational Research and Training (GSCERT) in partnership with UNOCUE and Pro Edutech LLP. Senior officials from the state’s education ecosystem, including Shri Shailesh Zingde (Director of Education), Shri Bhushan Savoikar (Director of Higher Education), Smt. Meghana Shetgaonkar (Director, GSCERT), Shri Vivek Kamat (Director of Technical Education), and Shri Dhaval Gandhi from UNOCUE, attended the launch and shared their vision for the initiative.
The Goa Career Navigator-2025 is designed to empower students with tailored guidance based on their personal interests, aptitudes, and career aspirations. With a strong foundation in psychometric testing and expert counselling, the program helps students explore academic and vocational paths that align with their strengths.
“Career guidance is essential in today’s fast-changing world,” said Dr. Pramod Sawant at the event. “This initiative will ensure our students are not only informed but also confident in planning their futures. The government is committed to providing such innovative support systems to our youth.”
The pilot phase of the program has already been implemented in the Tiswadi taluka, where students have begun receiving personalised career counselling. The program is set to expand across all talukas in a phased manner, ensuring equitable access for thousands of students in both rural and urban areas.
By bridging the gap between education and employability, Goa Career Navigator-2025 is poised to reshape the state’s academic landscape and create a more prepared, skilled, and motivated generation of learners.
This initiative complements other student-centric policies of the Goa Government, reflecting its progressive stance on youth development, skill-building, and inclusive growth.
