The Career Centre should be the FIRST POINT OF CONTACT to dispel dignity of labour and help youth choose jobs wisely. Career centres can become hubs for providing infra companies registered talent. The companies can train and employ the youth at +2 or Grad levels. This centre should cater only upto Grad level. 5th pass,8th pass etc can take up low cost skill training to get jobs locally. Encourage employers in Pvt sector to lift resources from the CCs first. Give them incentives for mass employs

A Career Centre should put up options of realtime, online, and all local careers. This should engage actively with class 10 and 12 passouts. Only careers requiring Graduation should be listed separately. This pre Career counselling will help students choose their educational options easily.

Students who graduated with 60% or more marks will be able to volunteer for social causes like educating local residents about the different government schemes, laws, point of contact for problems and finally educate others on how to install and use the different government apps & websites. If any student effectively does this for a year, he will get some added advantages in exams like IAS, IPS, IFS and other government exams. This experience will make future government employees better.

Youth in their areas can do the following..... Set up small schools for skill based learning. Set up labs. Start weaving units. Food processing units. Create biodiversity gardens for live zoology teaching. Start small libraries. Govt should provide marketing support by having more khadi shops. Why not have coop stores in villages ? Marketing of goods and services within India is important. Creating Online shops should also be encouraged.
