Udaan

Udaan, the career department at Suchitra Academy, is established to guide students to make passionate careers through informed higher education avenues, industry insights and learning interdisciplinary skills.

Our career department is led by highly passionate career counsellors, mentored by leaders and designed by thought leaders to provide broader perspectives on the world, economic growth, industrial markets, cultural diversity, universal camaraderie and the evolving need of human resources in diverse sectors.



Vision:

Udaan’s vision is to create Thought Leaders (Highlight separately if necessary). Thought Leaders influence the world with their novel ideas, unique perspectives and are fuelled by their passion. These are the torch bearers, influencing generations towards excellence, prosperity, and larger visions.



Mission:

Our mission is to empower students to pursue their career goals confidently. We provide a comprehensive foundation that broadens perspectives, develops crucial skills, raises awareness, and offers industry insights. By fostering innovative thinking and cultivating strong personalities, we enable our students to confidently practice their passions and navigate their chosen career paths effectively.



Philosophy:

We believe ‘Careers are made, not chosen.’ We clearly acknowledge and support the fact that students have multiple interests and diverse ideas on careers. That is exactly what we affirm, that the opportunities which they can create are endless and they have every right to practice their limitless passion.



Perspective:

Our perspective is that learners, especially high school students should broaden their areas of knowledge rather than narrowing down their options or courses to just fit into a college. As they are in a pursuit of knowledge & wisdom, their field of specialization eventually develops as they move ahead with their higher education & continuous learning.

A Synergistic Approach to University Selection

Students now have a chance to personalize their higher education impact by Big-Picture thinking, where they start contemplating on larger problems of the people and work towards a positive difference in the world through a synergistic approach, where the clear idea of their everyday actions adds to their larger vision on life.

Explore & experience different views on life and seek one or more activities which you want to pursue with passion.

Figure out the ways you can solve problems which bother you and create innovative ideas on the topics you are curious about.

Know which locations are directly concerned with these problems and interests, understanding the situation in depth through its economic and cultural context.

Explore the universities & thought leaders in those locations whom you want to get associated with, who are working towards your interests and solving those problems.

Time to explore courses and subjects which you will need to study to equip yourself better in the fields of your interest to solve those problems or create innovations.

Practice the activities which are directly in your interest and interdisciplinary in nature, adding progress everyday keeping your larger picture in mind.
