In the age of disruptive technology, when innovations and emerging trends are competing at break-neck speed, the career landscape is changing. New technologies like cloud computing are seamlessly aligning the ‘real’ and the ‘virtual’ world, resulting in an enormous transformation of traditional job roles. According to Skill development for Industry 4.0, the skills which are relevant today will cease to be so in the future. There will be a higher percentage of careers that will give importance to cognitive abilities as core work-related skill sets. There will be new opportunities related to Industry 4.0 technologies – Automation / Robotics, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Additive Manufacturing, 3D printing, smart grids, etc. The demand for a dynamic and innovative workforce driven by data is the need of the hour. So how do children poised with the crucial question of choosing their stream and take up the challenge? With changing dynamics of industries and puzzling variety of careers, how will they select the right combination of subjects that will lend support to their career path? Given the Indian curriculum in schools, they are familiar with practically all subjects from science, commerce to art subjects, providing a head start to the students in career planning. However, when the emphasis is on cognitive skills and inborn traits, it is not a trial and error method to achieve your goals as once you choose a stream, it will take a year’s time to change it. Students often attribute their love for the subject to the high percentage they score in it and start planning the related profession.
