In an ever-evolving digital world, students often find themselves asking the same question: "Where do I start?" For many, the journey into careers like cybersecurity, data science, or software development feels overwhelming. At GKSS (Geekulcha Student Society), we’re answering that question through a powerful new initiative Career Roadmaps in Tech.
Launched as part of GKSS’s broader mission to drive youth-led innovation and skills development, the Career Roadmap Series is designed to break down complex career paths into clear, actionable steps. Each roadmap provides guidance on what skills to learn, tools to master, and certifications to consider all curated specifically for students navigating the tech industry.
Each roadmap covers a specific field and includes:
- Foundational knowledge areas
- Recommended learning platforms and resources
- Toolkits and programming languages
- Entry-level certifications
- Internship and job role suggestions
- Growth paths for career advancement
So far, GKSS has published roadmaps for:
- Cybersecurity
- Data Science
This initiative represents more than just documentation it’s a form of student empowerment. By giving learners a practical starting point, we:
- Reduce confusion and self-doubt around career planning
- Promote digital literacy and STEM awareness
- Open access to freelance, internship, and employment opportunities
- Encourage self-driven learning through platforms like TryHackMe, Kaggle, and GitHub
Whether you’re a student, educator, or partner organization, GKSS_UWC invites you to:
- Download the roadmaps
- Share them with your networks
- Reach out to collaborate on future guides
Together, we can unlock pathways for the next generation of tech talent.
