Today’s students have access to an abundance of vocational courses, both in number and variety. From vocational courses in the healthcare sector to the acquisition of plumbing skills. The variety of these courses is great, but deciding to enrol in a particular vocational course is somewhat challenging. The initial step in picking which course to enrol in is identifying the top available courses. Here is a list of the 85 vocational training in India offered by colleges and universities:

FOREWORD

“My daughter has enrolled in a prestigious Medical college”…..Is it? Well, my son has enrolled in a prestigious Engineering college”…. So what? My children are the next scientists ready for NASA.

Now, now, now…..Let’s stop at that….Gone are the days when mainstream education was the only option considered by society in the 1990’s and 1920’s.

However, in the 21^st century, this scenario has taken a complete 180-degree turn, we can statistically confirm that society has evolved so much beyond just mainstream education and is giving importance to the interest of the child, owing to the qualities that the child displays. This in fact reduces the peer-performance pressure on the child to be at the top of his academics whether or not, his interest lies in some other vocational course. The best part is the child can enrol in these varied courses after 10^th or after 12^th. Well, there is at least one-course minimum, to say the least up to many courses for each and everybody out there. You just have to choose your area of interest.

Here, I’m not against any mainstream courses, but, would like to elaborate on the fact that, in 2020, when the COVID-19 Pandemic drove the society in their houses, the only option that seemed most suitable to engage the society was to go digital completely. With the world on the brink of complete outbursts, the majority of the people found solace in vocational courses bringing up their creativity, presentation, passion, ideas, core knowledge, thought processes and turning them into freelancing and full-time careers. Because of the fact that these courses do not focus completely on the theoretical aspect but are focused on providing job opportunities for very specific areas of interest with a rewarding pay package. What else can you ask for?

Without, further ado, let’s get straight into our interesting topic and I would not only take you into this exciting journey with the popular names but also, give you at least a few major benefits that these individual training can offer.
