Mehar Zariwala launches Career Leap! (SLP Bangalore, 2015)

Designed for grade 8-12 students, the Leap program comprises 7 experiential activity kits that lead into an online assessment that uncovers strengths and competencies that match careers. The program also offers guidance on mapped career options and information about them in the way of career information packs. For edu-preneurs and passionate educators the Career Leap kit offers an opportunity to reach young minds looking to make informed career choices.  In the past one month since its launch facilitators from around the world have shown interest in using this tool and more than a dozen have joined the Career Leap Facilitator Pack, with edu-preneurs from Dubai and Cyprus also joining the group. The project has been selected as one of the 100 innovation and social entrepreneurship projects at this year's AFI forum to be held at IIT Delhi. Founder Mehar Zariwala will be in Delhi during the forum, and is open to meeting with entrepreneurs from the SLP network working in education and explore possible partnerships.
