CBSE organized Skill Expo cum Awareness Workshops on Skill Courses for the Principals and Teachers of CBSE affiliated schools, at Panipat (Haryana), Agra and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) in the year of 2022 to create awareness for skills along with recognizing the importance of skills.

In addition, CBSE in association with Lifology Foundation, organized National Guidance Festival for students & parents of class VIII-XII in the month of September, 2022 in digital mode to provide information on future careers, skillsets to excel and a clear plan regarding “Which career paths to choose and How to reach the destination”. The event was a great success in meeting its objectives towards creating awareness about different career paths to the students.

Also, NEP 2020 has emphasized the importance of scientific guidance for children at schools.
