Career Counseling

The Career Counseling initiative, launched in 2018, offers tailored online and in-person guidance to help young people make informed academic and career choices aligned with their interests, strengths and evolving labour market needs. Through individual and group counselling sessions, mentorship and career resources, participants explore education and job pathways, build essential skills and gain confidence to plan their careers and enter the job market successfully.

English for Employability

In 2021, PESI initiated English for Employability to help young people improve communication and workplace readiness skills for today's job market. The initiative strengthens practical, career-focused English through interactive sessions, professional vocabulary building, interview preparation and real-life communication exercises. Participants build confidence to communicate in academic, professional and multicultural settings, enhancing their employability and access to opportunities.

Introduced in 2019, it provides a non-formal learning experience that blends training, mentoring, teamwork and practical experimentation.

By developing real projects and learning from practitioners, youth gain hands-on experience to create responsible ventures and drive positive social change.
