High Schoolers Halt! Have you just finished giving your 10th grade examinations? Are you facing a difficult time picking a stream? Do you prefer a job-oriented course that helps you find a great job instead of a long academic future without any job security?

If yes, then you are among a lot of young adults who wish to embark upon a fruitful employment journey.

A common misconception that surrounds the employment industry is that a graduate degree is a sure short way to secure a job. However, the truth of the matter is that a graduate degree no longer holds the same value as it did about ten to fifteen years ago. Today graduation is regarded only as a basic qualification that must be supplemented with a job-oriented course. Companies seek skills over theoretical know-how which can only be developed by job-oriented courses.

The most sought-after job-oriented courses that one can go for after 10th are:

Data Entry Operation

Data entry operators are a mainstay at almost all corporate sector jobs. A certificate course in data entry operation equips students in basic data-entry skills like converting physical data into digital form by manually adding it to the computer or by scanning it. Typical courses usually require knowledge of computer basics and English. An ideal data entry operator has an eye for detail. They can compile, verify and sort data in a time-bound manner. The job requires someone who can review data for anomalies while correcting any incompatibilities and checking output

Firefighting

There is a constant need for firefighters in every society. A good training course from a recognised institution in firefighting is ample to prepare first responders who offer their invaluable services in times of dire need.
