From early internship to preparing resumes, understanding money matters, handling social media of school and managing its annual fest, city schools are leaving no stone unturned to give their students an edge in a competitive field and enable them to make informed academic choices. Thanks to a curriculum as vast as this, young students are career-ready by the time they write exams for Class X and XII, instead of being clueless about the possibility until graduation. 

“Internships can be a stepping stone for students towards a professional environment,” says Kalpana Patange, principal of Juhu-based Jamnabai Narsee School, adding that their CO-OP (co-operative education) Programme, is a structured programme for the ISC Class XI and XII students, which aims to integrate students’ academic achievements with relevant work experience. “The aim is to let our students discover their passions, and hone their skill sets.”
