About us

 We transform lives!
 We shape the destiny!
 We link education with career!

Careerlinked Education Council is an apex organisation set up under section 8 of MCA,

Government of India for making policies and planning at the national level to bridge the gap
between degrees and career competencies. The Council has developed authentic,
appropriate and effective career development tools and learning management systems to
cultivate a culture of “career by choice, not by chance”. We are embedding career in
education.

We propagate the philosophy of “Be what you want to be”. We strive to help students and
adults find their passions in life and lead them to their dream career. We encourage young
people to think deeply about the things they enjoy most and then translate these into careers
that will drive and motivate them for the rest of their lives. We provide the tools to design,
monitor and develop their career which is self-engaging, authentic, impartial, measurable
and transparent.

Our programme and career professionals have just ONE specific focus “Excellence in Career
Management”. We live and breathe career guidance; nothing else gets in the way. We are
practical, idealists and confident that our career guidance programs are the best in the world.
A strong commitment to research and improvement ensures that we stay the best.

Benefits of Career Planning

 Career is now seen not as being chosen but as being “constructed” through the series of
choices about learning and working throughout life.
 Students with the right employability skills and qualifications are likely to achieve better
outcomes in the labour market e.g. higher earnings and greater satisfaction.
 Appropriate career planning enables students to choose the courses of study at school/
college that will lead to the qualifications they need for the right careers.
 Better guidance means young people are motivated to complete the courses and they take
fewer wrong turns. Also, they are less likely to drop school/college or to be unemployed for a
longer period.
 There is a statistical association between unemployment and crime. By reducing
unemployment, better career guidance can reduce crime.
 There is a correlation between income, quality of life and health status. Being out of work can
lead to stress, lower self-esteem, and depression.

“40 minutes of career planning prevents 40 years of struggle in life”

Discovering a child's areas of intelligence and learning styles removes the 'trial and error' method of
parenting or teaching a fish to climb a tree. Using Dermatoglyphics technology, parents can identify
children’s 9 types of innate intelligence: Verbal-Linguistic, Mathematical-Logical, Musical, Visual-
Spatial, Naturalist, Bodily-Kinaesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Existential with 4 Learning
Styles: Visual, Aural, Reading & Writing and Kinaesthetic.

three colours: Green: the student is doing well; Yellow: the student is lagging and Red: the

What makes this a viable opportunity

Most ventures fail due to dependency on a single source of income. Here you
get multiple points of income within a single business model, so that if you
are not getting results from your effort, still you can have a regular income.

The challenging part of any business is getting clients. After making

investments, most of the entrepreneurs use 90% of their effort to get clients
and only 10% is left to do business. We save you from such pitfalls and
provide you leads so that you can utilise 100% of your time and energy and
concentrate on your core competencies.

There is a huge untapped market in the field of career management. After

investing money & time to acquire degrees, students and parents are
puzzled due to unplanned career direction and stiff competition in
Government as well as other sectors of the economy.

Due to a lack of career education in schools and alarming skills deficiency in

the labour market, demand for developing career competencies is growing
and growing day after day.
