NAVI MUMBAI: Navi Mumbai based,
FutureFocusIndia.com is a free online career help & info guide particularly
designed to help 13-16 year old students understand what type of career may
suit them. This is the first ever FREE Online Aptitude Test available in India.
Moreover, it is meant especially for children in Classes VIII to X.
Resource Management Group Plus Pvt. Ltd (RMG Plus), a
20 year old progressive HR Consulting Company has launched
FutureFocusIndia.com, a free online career help & info guide particularly
designed to help 13-16 year old students understand what type of career may
suit them. This is based on the results of a free online career aptitude quiz.
According to Mr. Merwyn Sequeira, CEO -
FutureFocusIndia.com, “This free to access web portal will aid students from
Class VIII onwards to garner insights on their personality, aptitude, interests
via the free online career aptitude quiz in order to make the right career
choice.”
The quiz has been designed by Ms. Shailaja Mulay,
Chief Career Counselor – FutureFocusIndia.com and a well known Vocational and
Career Counselor with 40 years of experience in the field. According to Ms.
Shailaja, “Careers today are the blend of one's interests, talents, hobbies,
passion and aptitude to reach an altitude with a positive attitude. It has to be one's SIGNATURE CAREER. The days
of ‘choosing’ careers is over. Now is the time to create a career. It is time to
be the ENTREPRENEUR in career practice. It has to be an individual's choice,
not one made by anyone.”
She further added, "Days of choosing a career
are over. Now is the time to create your own career. Who said that a
Pediatrician cannot use his/her love for music in their practice? Some of the
other emerging streams include Bio-medical engineering, Forensic Psychology,
Medical Tourism, Culinary Tourism.... the options are wide."
The launch of the site was held at Holy Name High
School in Colaba, Mumbai on August 29th, 2016. Principals and teachers of

system.
The reaction of the audience was very encouraging,
especially from Fr. Terence Quadros, Director - Career Counselling, St.
Xavier’s College, Mumbai and Fr. Godfrey D’Sa, Director - Prafulta Don Bosco
Psychological Services.
In addition to the free online career aptitude quiz,

career counselors on their career queries for an email chat. The portal will
also contain informative videos and articles on careers, educational games,
quizzes, contests, guides on personality development, grooming, fitness etc.
