Career Counseling Center

Introduction

Due to the changing demands of business, the distance between industry and academics has widened. Soft skills like time management, stress and anger management, communication, self-confidence, and many other areas of personal growth are unavoidably needed for a student to be more valuable and effective. These abilities are crucial for their academic work and professional careers. Along with these abilities, individuals require the right attitude, mindset, and direction to be employable.

Career Counseling Center (CCC) has been functional in the GSCWU Bahawalpur since October 2016 initially funded by Punjab Higher Education Commission (PHEC). CCC has been set up to help students find employment and internships by forging connections with the public and private sectors. The CCC is operational and works to improve the degree programs through informal and non-formal learning. For GSCWU's present students and graduates, CCC has both long-term and short-term initiatives.
