DHARAMSHALA : Mr. Ngodup Tsering, Kalon of the Department of Education (DoE), Central Tibetan Administration, today inaugurated a new web-portal on career counseling ‘Lamton.org’.
Speaking at the web inauguration, he said that the website is a ‘New Year’s gift’ for the high school Tibetan students. He recalled the earlier days when people did not have such facilities and explained that the present generation should make optimum utilisation of these facilities to excel in their respective fields.
The website, an initiative of the career counseling desk of the education department, is aimed to help Tibetan students in accessing information on career options and providing updates on DoE scholarships.
“The primary vision of the website is to serve as a gateway for the students and parents to access information required for career planning and update the people about the latest information on college admission and entrance examinations,” a statement from the education department said.
“The new website contains rich resources related to career and career planning for our students, School Guidance, and parents. It contains sections such as Career profile, career options after class XII, Entrance examination, Scholarship, List of top colleges & professional institutes, list of Coaching Institutes, Admission Alerts, Useful Career links and Career videos etc., ” it said.
With the launch of this website, the Department of Education said it hopes to minimise Tibetan students’ challenges of shortage of information and resources on careers and career planning.
The website project was fully funded by USAID through Tibet Fund.
