The second edition of ‘The Confluence 2.0’ ended in a high note on November 1 with a hope for more precision guidance and opportunity as students filled the school’s Covenant Hall at the final day of the two-day education fair-cum-career seminar programme organised by Christian Higher Secondary School (CHSS), Dimapur.
Speaking to The Morung Express, Caleb Ngamlubo Hegwang, a class 12 (science) student of The Mapple Tree School, stated that the confluence was engaging, educational and informative altogether.
Hegwang said that he was elated to meet the representatives of the BlueSky Educational Services Private Limited, a leading overseas education consultant in India, as he had also been exploring the possibilities to study abroad in the near future.
At the same time, he also said that the confluence was a big boost to his confidence and career plans as he believes he is better prepared to take his academic goals to the next steps.
Kilemsungla Imsong, a class 12 Arts student of Livingstone Foundation International School, also articulated that the confluence helped her realize the importance of setting up goals early, having a clear vision and choosing a field that matches her interests and strengths.
Sharing her experience regarding the confluence, Imsong stated that the confluence was informative and eye-opening and that she had a great time visiting all the 17 boot camps from different universities and colleges.
When asked about how this confluence would help her in her future, Imsong replied that the confluence has helped her gain a better understanding and knowledge of her paths and options in life after the completion of her higher secondary studies.
According to her, she said that she felt motivated to do more research about her possible career fields she feels closely aligned to her interest.
Likewise, another class 12 Arts student of Livingstone Foundation International School, Imlijungla Aier, also shared that she was grateful to be a part of the Confluence as she was able to interact with the representatives from different universities from across the country.
Aier asserted that she now has better understanding of the requirement needed to apply for scholarships and financial aid.
Having the advantage of being an attendee of the educational fair, Aier was delighted that she gets a direct access to the institutions a lot earlier than other students which she feels will prove to be an advantage for her in the future.
The Principal of CHSS, S Moatemsu Walling, in his welcome address, encouraged the students to actively participate and make the best use of the opportunity presented before the students.
At the same time, Walling also called on the students to learn more about the career paths which best suits them and encouraged the students to engage with the representatives from different universities and colleges present at the boot camps.
The programme was a follow up to 2019’s Confluence 1.0, an Education Fair-cum-Career Seminar conceptualized and initiated by the Confluence Team of the school. Enabling students to get a feel of the job market requirements — or life after school — through interaction with industry professionals is among the primary objectives of the initiative.
A total of 19 schools and colleges and an estimate of more than 2000 students attended the two-day Confluence 2.0 programme.
