About
The COVID-19 pandemic is forcing global experimentation with remote working and learning due
to restrictions on several activities and imposed lockdown. To ensure that we make the best of
our times ahead of us, we need to explore new ways of learning in the wake of this situation.
Since the initial plan of implementing LaunchPad in a classroom setting is not feasible, we have
decided to execute the first phase of the program through a digital learning platform.
LaunchPad is a career guidance and employability skills development program for students
pursuing their 12th standard in all Government Higher Secondary Schools across Nagaland. This is an
initiative of Department of Youth Resources and Sports, Government of Nagaland in partnership with YouthNet supported by Department of
School Education, Government of Nagaland.
The modules have been specially created to help the students effectively utilize their time during
the lockdown and beyond in developing their soft skills, motivate them to pursue higher
education, encourage them to explore avenues beyond traditional jobs and plan their career
based on their abilities and interests.
