Education is essential for the enlightenment of an individual. The path a child chooses at the juncture of their educational journey, shapes the future. It has been often felt that enough information and orientation is not equally available to all at all times, particularly with regard to the endless education and career opportunities that are available world over. Towards an endeavour to provide the students with meaningful experiences to enhance their college and career readiness, a mega Physical Career Fair was organised at Gillco International School, for the students of classes IX – XII, which witnessed a magnificent response with more than 500 students and parents participating in the Career Fair including outside schools.
