JRP – Job Readiness Program
For final-year students & fresh graduates
The Job Readiness Program (JRP) is a focused and practical assessment tool designed to help final-year college students and recent graduates evaluate how prepared they are to enter the professional world. With competition on the rise and industry expectations evolving rapidly, it’s no longer enough to just have a degree—employers seek candidates who are ready to contribute from day one.
JRP bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world job expectations by providing a comprehensive readiness check, personalized feedback, and actionable recommendations. Whether you’re preparing for campus placements, job interviews, or off-campus opportunities, JRP helps you understand your strengths and the areas that need improvement.
This is an online multiple-choice question (MCQ) test followed by an optional counselling session. The test alone is priced at ₹2,000. For deeper insights and personalised guidance based on your results, you can book a counselling session for ₹5,000 with our experienced experts.

Our Specialities
Passion-Based "Life Compass" Sessions
We offer personalized one-on-one sessions where the focus is not just on career advice but on ‘life direction’. These sessions would combine deep personal conversations to uncover the student’s unique “Life Compass”—a set of guiding values, passions, and natural strengths ensuring the choice aligns with the student’s authentic self.
Passions into careers
Rather than starting with “what job can you do?”, PassionUp would start with “what do you love to do?” We then explore practical ways to make that passion into a career. The process is emotionally driven and based on creating a career that sparks joy.
Exploring career beyond 'generic' paths
Many students struggle with abstract career advices. Instead of pushing students toward generic paths, we explore non-traditional and unique career pathways, for students who have unique abilities and orientations. students are encouraged to think beyond the typical “doctor, lawyer, engineer” roles. We at passionUp feel this is of paramount importance because many students feel boxed into traditional career paths. PassionUp would help them discover the vast array of unconventional career options out there. It would challenge societal norms and encourage students to define success on their own terms.
Family-Centered Career Coaching
Many career decisions are impacted by family dynamics and vice versa. We involve family discussions on career choices, ensuring alignment between the student’s aspirations and family expectations. Career counselling services often don’t address the tension between parent expectations and student desires. PassionUp would take the time to facilitate genuine dialogue between parents and students, helping them navigate difficult conversations and find common ground. This approach would significantly reduce stress and anxiety around career decisions.
