Career Development can be defined as the assemblage of psychological, sociological, educational, physical, and economic factors that combine to influence the nature and significance of work in the total lifespan of an individual. In simpler terms it is an individual’s progression through life. Taking the right decisions at the right time contributes a great deal in creating an envious career. The Career Development Cell at THE HERITAGE ACADEMY works towards achieving this goal. The educational programmes conducted by The Heritage Academy are a means to achieve the much sought after careers and not an end in itself. The programmes provide vast opportunities for quantitative growth as they widen the student’s horizon to unimaginable prospects.
