During the event, the students at the ITI engaged in a workshop on career opportunities for women in STEM, facilitated by Mr Sameer Shaikh from Lighthouse Communities. During this session, students were divided into five groups and asked to come up with career opportunity recommendations for Rani, a fictional character who is enrolled in the electrical trade in an ITI. The students came up with several solutions and also stated the possible challenges that Rani may have to face during the course of her career journey. The students also engaged in an activity to creatively showcase their vision of a dream career in STEM by posting sticky notes on a vision board.
