From agriculture to technology and life to business, today's youth is gaining new dimensions in almost all fields and has emerged as a source of inspiration for the society. In this category, it is very important to take the name of 23 year old Saqlain Mushtaq born in West Bihar, Champaran. Mushtaq has been providing free platform for personality and skill development among students at national level for almost last one and a half years and has emerged as an entrepreneur in this field.

Starting with an Instagram page named Turningpoint_Session

According to Mushtaq – “With this Instagram page named Turningpoint_Session launch on March 2020, I start implementing the objective of providing a great personality and skill development platform to the youth. Yes it is true that even though I started this page for a fun but my unseen motive behind that was to brush up and develop the personality related and technical skills required for placement in big international companies of different sectors. By  providing a free consultancy service platform  i aimed to make  the students of our country enough  capable so that they  not only pass such kind of big interviews and become successful but can help  in the development of the country too.”

"Turningpoint_Session" is also helpful for students facing financial problems

Mushtaq, director of Turningpoint_Session Consultancy Service, says – “There are students who have skills and want to do something in life but are unable to fulfill their dreams due to financial constraints. This platform is also helpful in the context of their personality development soft skills, in which trainings like web development training and graphic designing are also given.

Offline career session also organized with the help of GLPU and Sef Group

Mushtaq told - Gravity Lovely Professional University and Sef Group and his team of 12 people in which his friends from different universities and schools of the country - Suhail Sheikh, V.Manikant, Manish Yadav, Prateek Goyal, Priyanka and many other friends were associated. Together, they have also conducted more than 40 offline career guidance sessions for class 10th, 12^th students and more than 200 virtual career counseling sessions so far.

Career counseling is very important for 10th and 12th students: Mushtaq

The Social Truth is that all the students of class 10th and 12th   are confused about their professional career which is natural. Mushtaq says- "For example, if a student is pursuing engineering or MBBS due to some social and family pressure or confusion in subject selection, but after a period he may feel that he is inclined towards hotel management or any other subject then he regret his decision to do Engineering or MBBS. So our aim is to give students right guidance on right time.

Mushtaq also educated students for selection through placement drive

According to Mushtaq - “During my internship in a big marketing company based in Hyderabad, I was giving training to MBA students for interviews then I realized that some of students don't even know the difference between CV and Resume then I questioned myself how such students will be able to get success in placement drives.

just keeping all these things in mind, through the Turningpoint_Session, we  start providing basic to essential knowledge and training to students from 10th to 12th and students doing graduation. We tell them how to present themselves effectively in the interview. We even explain to them that what type of cloths should choose for a interview and about all various essential aspects of personality development.

Necessary practical training is also being given to the students of small colleges through turningpoint_session

Mushtaq explains – When our team contacted students pursuing engineering from regional small colleges in India, it was found that they lack the practical training needed for the future.

 A third year engineering student from a college in Lucknow did not know how to do programming, how to code and how to build a website. By keeping these things in mind, we also started teaching Web Development, C++ and Java Python for B.Tech. CSE.

Mushtaq learned his skills by joining All India Youth Parliament

A major turning point in Mushtaq's life began in 2016, after participating as a youth parliamentarian  in the All India Youth Parliament and a live session of talks with ministers. During that time he came to know that he has the  ability to convince people through his speaking talent which showed him a new direction. Later, Mushtaq joined BBMBA from LPU to fulfill his desire to make a career in the field of Public Contact and Public Speaking globally. Where he found that the classmates coming from Haryana and especially from Bihar have the same issues of  mispronunciation and presenting themselves during the interview. All these things inspired him to work in this direction.

Mushtaq faced depression for a long time

Mushtaq, who is a National Judo Champion of KVS (Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangthan) in 2014, says that due to his father's transferable job in Indian Army he could not stay in one place. Just thinking that medical is a good career option and in the state of confusion he took biology after 10th, but due to the abundance of studies, along with other activities, his improvement graph in studies is also down. Meanwhile, he also had to go through social pressure to make a career only in the medical line. Due to which he became a victim of depression and became completely inactive for life. He started feeling that in this situation he would not be able to pass the pre-medical exam. Over time, he realized that he was not made for the medical line but to work in the field of public speaking. After which he started giving various development training to the needy students.

Turningpoint_Session consultancy services managed to meet its objective

 

Mushtaq says – “I am satisfied that Turningpoint_Session consultancy services has been able to fulfill the main objective of bridging the exposure gap between small and large institutions.

Mushtaq's team worked as a career guide even during the Corona period

Through its consultancy service, Mushtaq's team has trained 4500 students across India comprising 15 economics students from Katra University, Jammu and Kashmir. In association with Bihar's Saransh Educational Foundation, this team has organized several career guidance webinars for children worried about their future during Covid-19 and also educated the migrant workers of UP, Bihar during the lockdown through a big screen with the participation of Gram Panchayats.

Mushtaq wants to launch Rs 9 accessibility program in future

After organizing several career oriented guidelines and programs at the national level, Mushtaq's team also intends to provide offline virtual training through '9 rupee accessibility program for anything' in future.
