To ease this process, the Department of Secondary Education has initiated a plan to designate a classroom as a career hub in every government school.

Adding to it, career fairs will also be organised at the school, district and state levels.
A team will be reportedly formed to manage the requirements of the hub, which will include the principal who will be the president of the team, a nodal teacher who will act as a secretary, Two parents (one male and one female) of the top-performing students from grades 9 and 11 and four students as members.
