At the Gaudium, we believe that it is very important to start career planning from a young age as it guides the students in the right direction. Keeping this in mind, a Career Session was organized on 6th February 2020 by Ms. Mahitha Sammeta, the school Career Counselor along with two eminent guest speakers- Mr. Kunal Mehra and Ms. Rubina Singh in the Multi-Purpose Hall in school campus for the geckos of Grade 9 to 11 and their parents.
