Before the event we didn’t have proper floor and we are unable to sit on the floor which resulted not being able to concentrate on the lessons. Before the career guidance we didn’t know which higher education we have to study and the opportunities that come from it. After career guidance we are in a position to select our career. Thanks to CIQ management.
