JIVA PROFESSIONAL
INVOLVE AND ACTIVATE! A workshop on Career Learning.
This interesting workshop was conducted at The Promise Foundation, Bangalore, by Mr. Kjell Helge Kleppesto, a well known Norwegian career development expert. He evocatively pointed out that: “Information about educational courses and work possibilities are vital issues that affect future career choices. But information alone is not enough.”
Career Learning helps pupils…
…take the subject into the world, bring the world into the subject, and thereby take the subject into the mind!”

The workshop was well attended and brought together a number of Jiva network members from Kerala, Tamilnadu and Bangalore! Great to meet again after many years! And wonderful to have new members to the group!
