Dr Kishore says the expo’s primary focus is to provide robust early career guidance for students.
“When they come to the university after finishing year 13, they have already decided their career path. They have already decided their options, and then it’s too late to change or do anything with them. They’re already there. They have chosen the subjects, and it’s hard to change them.”

Dr. Kishore says they are utilizing a top-down approach to address the labour shortage in the market.
The Chief Executive says the expo helps students learn how to actually earn a career and pursue entrepreneurship.
