As students progress through ICSE and ISC, decisions about subjects, higher education and possible careers gradually become more important.
At Trio World School, DISHA provides students with opportunities to explore these choices through direct exposure to universities, professionals and experts from different fields.
The purpose of the programme is not to ask students to decide their careers early. Instead, DISHA helps them understand the range of possibilities available, ask informed questions and begin connecting their interests and academic choices with opportunities beyond school.
Students often know the names of familiar professions, but may have limited understanding of what different careers actually involve or how rapidly industries are changing.
Through DISHA, students interact with professionals, entrepreneurs, academics and specialists from a variety of fields.
Workshops, seminars and interactive sessions introduce them to both established and emerging areas of study and work. Depending on the session, discussions may cover fields such as engineering, medicine, law, commerce, design, technology, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, media, the arts and other evolving career pathways.
Hearing directly from people working in these fields gives students an opportunity to understand the education, skills and experiences associated with different professions.
Understanding universities and higher-education options is an important part of preparing for life after school.
TRIO facilitates university interactions, information sessions and university visits to the school campus, giving students opportunities to engage directly with representatives from higher-education institutions.
These interactions help students learn about:
Students are encouraged to use these opportunities to compare options and understand that there can be more than one pathway towards a particular career or field of interest.
For ICSE and ISC students, subject choices can influence the courses and opportunities available after school.
DISHA helps students understand these connections more clearly.
Interactions with universities and professionals allow students to see how subjects studied in school may relate to areas such as engineering, sciences, business, humanities, design, technology and other disciplines.
The objective is to give students greater context when making academic choices rather than viewing subjects only in terms of examinations and marks.
Career exploration becomes more meaningful when students can engage with people who have practical experience.
Throughout the year, TRIO invites professionals and subject experts from different industries and academic fields to conduct workshops, seminars and student interactions on campus.
Sessions may introduce students to a profession, discuss developments within an industry, explore new technologies or allow them to hear about the personal journeys and experiences of professionals.
These conversations also give students an opportunity to ask questions that may not always be answered through conventional career information.
A student's interests and ambitions can change considerably during the secondary and senior-school years.
DISHA therefore focuses on exposure before decisions.
By introducing students to different universities, courses, industries and professionals, the programme encourages them to:
The world of work continues to evolve as technology, artificial intelligence and new industries create different opportunities and expectations.
Students preparing for university today may eventually work in roles that are still developing.
Career and university exposure therefore needs to go beyond identifying a single profession. Students also need opportunities to develop curiosity, adaptability, communication, problem-solving and the confidence to continue learning.
Through DISHA, Trio World School aims to help students approach their future with greater awareness, curiosity and the ability to make informed choices.
DISHA is Trio World School's career and university exposure initiative for senior students. It introduces students to different courses, universities, professions and industries through expert interactions, workshops, seminars and university engagement.
DISHA primarily supports students during their ICSE and ISC years, when subject choices, university options and career interests become increasingly relevant.
