Schools and PU Colleges
Not sure what you want to be? Good. That’s exactly where we start.
Find out what you’re good at, try it for real, then decide, together with your parents and a mentor.
“One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”
Every ICGA journey starts with one student, one mentor and one report.
The story
You’re 15, or 18. Everyone has an opinion about your future: school, relatives, social media.
The options keep growing (new degrees, AI jobs, study abroad, startups), and so does the pressure. Most choices still get made on marks or on what a friend picked. Parents want to help without pushing.
So how do you choose a path that’s actually yours, without guessing?
Three steps: know your strengths, practise in the real world, then decide with a plan.
Step 1 · Know
Discover your strengths with data
Stream, college, course, India or abroad? Stop guessing.
Think of it as a health check for career decisions. You wouldn’t accept a doctor’s diagnosis without tests; your child’s stream deserves the same care.
An AI-powered assessment and a 20-page Career Strengths Report show what you’re naturally good at. A mentor then talks it through with you and your parents. By ICGA, for Class 8–12 and PU.
| Programme | Best for | Fee |
|---|---|---|

| Premium Pro Career Guidance Program | The full journey with ongoing support | ₹20,000 |
Step 2 · Practise
Try it for real before you commit
The best way to know if you’ll love something is to do it. Pick the experience that matches your curiosity.
AI in the Workplace
Everyone’s using AI. Learn to make it work for you. A 3-hour hands-on experience: build your own agentic automation flows with common AI tools, and see how AI is changing every job.
Data Science for Juniors
Love puzzles, games or sports stats? Learn to think with data: ask a question, explore a real dataset, find the answer and present it.
Entrepreneurship experience
Rather build than be told what to do? Take the Entrepreneurship Potential assessment, then team up in a hackathon to solve a real problem and pitch it.
Hackathon Readiness (one-to-one)
Want to win a data science or AI hackathon, even the ones with prize money? Crack the problem, build the model, pitch it so the judges remember it.
“AI is the new electricity.”
AI in the Workplace teaches students to switch it on and use it well, in three hours.
Step 3 · Decide
Make a plan that feels like yours
Lucky You: make your own career path
Big goals feel less scary one small step at a time. A workshop on gratitude, mindset and positive steps. Notice what’s working, set goals you believe in, and build habits that carry you through exam season and beyond.
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Every career programme ends with SMART goals and a roadmap: streams, exams, colleges and skills, in order.

For parents
Why this is worth it
Evidence before the big spend
A wrong stream choice can cost years and a lot of money. A strengths report costs far less.
Guidance, not pressure
Your child leads; you’re in the room for the report discussion and the plan.
Clear and fair
Prices upfront, UPI or card, GST invoice, published refund policy.
Is it online?
Mostly, yes. Workshops can also run at your school.
Is Class 8 too early?
No. Early clarity means calmer stream choices later.
Do parents join?
Yes, for the report discussion and goal-setting.
