The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched two flagship initiatives for the academic session 2025–26, designed to empower students with structured career guidance and holistic psychosocial support.
During a special orientation programme attended by principals, counselors, and wellness educators, CBSE unveiled the Career Guidance Dashboard and the Counseling Hub & Spoke School Model, both aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
1. Career Guidance Dashboard
The Career Guidance Dashboard, accessible at cbsecareerguidance.in, is a one-stop platform offering students, teachers, and school leaders access to:
- Detailed information on career pathways across disciplines.
- Resources for academic and skill development aligned with future opportunities.
- Tools for structured career planning and decision-making.
This initiative ensures that every student has access to authentic, organized, and NEP-aligned guidance to prepare for higher education and careers.
2. Counseling Hub & Spoke School Model
To strengthen emotional and psychosocial support, CBSE has introduced the Counseling Hub & Spoke Model.
- Hub Schools will be selected based on their infrastructure and availability of trained counselors.
- These hubs will support nearby Spoke Schools, offering guidance, mentorship, and wellness programs.
- The model aims to make counseling support inclusive, scalable, and accessible across the country.
Why These Initiatives Matter
Both programs reflect CBSE’s vision of creating future-ready learners. By combining career-focused resources with mental health support systems, CBSE is building a foundation where students can pursue academic and career success with confidence and resilience.
