EV career guidance is now part of the academic support system at JGSS (Junior Government Science School), where final-year students recently participated in an exclusive career camp designed to connect them with the growing world of electric vehicle employment. The initiative is tailored to help young science and diploma students understand where they fit within the expanding EV industry—from design and diagnostics to battery management and infrastructure maintenance.
Organized on campus and supported by local industry partners, the EV career guidance event offered interactive counseling sessions, resume-building workshops, and direct networking with employers from EV startups and service centers. The goal was to prepare students for real-world EV careers and help them visualize a successful student future in India’s sustainable transport ecosystem.
Career Mapping in the EV Sector
The highlight of the event was the Career Mapping Workshop, where counselors broke down various paths available to students in the electric mobility field. Through detailed presentations and visual charts, students were introduced to core industry sectors, required qualifications, entry-level salaries, and growth opportunities.
Popular job tracks discussed included:
-
EV maintenance technician
-
Battery quality control executive
-
Charging station field operator
-
Electric motor designer
-
Software tester for EV control systems
This level of structured EV career guidance helped students clearly identify which technical or non-technical path aligned best with their personal interests and current qualifications.
Student Future Planning Made Practical
Rather than offering abstract ideas, JGSS structured the sessions to focus on student future planning through actionable steps. Students received worksheets to assess their skills, career goals, and educational interests. They were guided to map these personal insights to real-time job openings and training programs.
Some of the tools shared with students included:
-
EV career interest assessment forms
-
Lists of government-approved EV technician certifications
-
Contact database of hiring agencies and job fair organizers
-
College pathways and scholarships for further EV specialization
This made the process of preparing for a future in EVs more tangible and goal-oriented.
Employer Interaction and Job Fair Simulation
To make the EV career guidance event more impactful, JGSS hosted a simulated job fair where students presented mock resumes to hiring teams from EV companies. Representatives from charging infrastructure firms, local scooter startups, and electric parts suppliers engaged in on-the-spot resume reviews and mock interviews.
Employers highlighted in-demand traits such as:
-
Practical repair knowledge
-
Basic understanding of battery storage systems
-
Willingness to work in the field or in shifts
-
Strong interest in sustainability and clean energy
This interaction allowed students to gain real-time feedback, while recruiters were impressed with the enthusiasm and awareness of the student participants.
Continued Support Beyond the Event
JGSS has committed to offering quarterly follow-up sessions to track student progress and update them on changes in the EV job landscape. The EV career guidance initiative also resulted in a digital database of student resumes, which will be shared with job fair partners and training institutes.
The school’s Career Cell is now preparing to help students apply to government-approved EV skill programs, ensuring a smooth transition from classroom to workshop or corporate floor. For students, this event has not only planted a seed but also offered a clear, supported route to a meaningful student future in electric mobility.
