Changing your career or even pursuing a new career can be a scary yet exciting time. It can be a time that is possibly filled with worry and concerns. However, it does not have to be like this. You can pursue a new career in therapy in a positive and enjoyable light, and you can actually enjoy the whole process, from studying to getting your first job. To make the whole process a lot easier on yourself and to stop you from feeling overwhelmed, you need to take control of the situation, and you need to start taking decisive action.

Choosing the Right Program to Study

One of the main things that will drive your new career in therapy is your studies. The program that you choose to undertake, and study will lay out the path your career will follow. For example, if you want to pursue a career in marriage therapy, you would look for a TUW Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy as this will allow you to start focusing on the area of therapy that interests you. As the program that you study is important, it is vital that you take time to get it right and make an informed decision. If you rush a decision, you may not end up pursuing the career path in therapy that you thought you would.

Successfully completing the program, you are on will set you off on the right track, but you still have a lot of work to do. Pursuing a career in therapy may have many ups and downs, and it may even throw you a curveball or two. Having a vision about where you see yourself and even setting career goals will help to ensure that you have a path to follow after you have completed your program/studies.

What Makes A Good Therapist

When you are pursuing a career in therapy, it is important to think about what makes a good therapist. When you can define and see what makes a good therapist, you can then begin to take positive steps forward. For example, is a good therapist someone who is neutral, or are opinionated? Do they listen attentively and then process the information to form a solution? What truly makes a good therapist, and how can you emulate what other good therapists do?

Soft Skills You Can Start Working On

When you are aware of what you should be working towards and focusing on, you can then begin to make changes and improvements. Therapists often have a set of soft skills that they use multiple times a day. For example, one of these soft skills is good communication. Being able to confidently and clearly communicate with patients, colleagues, and other people ensures that a therapist gets the most out of their sessions and out of the treatment.

Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu Exposes Fake Twitter Account Spreading Rumors on Exam Results, Shares Screen Shot On Social Media

It was another case of fake news in which a rumor spread that the results of Assam Higher Secondary exams had been released. The fake news spread quickly, requiring the intervention of Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, who exposed the details of a fake Twitter account spreading rumors about exam results.

On Friday, Assam’s Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, took to social media to debunk the fake news that the Secondary Exams results of Assam had been released. The Minister clarified that the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) are responsible for declaring the exam results, and they will be declared according to their predetermined schedule.

Additionally, Minister Ranoj Pegu shared screenshots of the fake Twitter account bearing his name and allegedly spreading false news about the announcement of results for the HSLC & HS Examination, 2024. The screenshots revealed that miscreants had attempted to spread the fake news that the results of the Secondary Exams would be declared on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Minister Ranoj Pegu also clarified that the claims were entirely false and once again exposed how easily such false information can spread on social media. This underscores the need for readers to remain vigilant and verify information from credible sources.

SEBA and AHSEC are tasked with conducting the Class 10 and Class 12 exams, respectively. The Class 10 matric exams concluded on March 4, and the Class 12 higher secondary exams concluded on March 13. In 2023, the Assam board Class 10 results were declared on May 22, and Class 12 HS results on June 16. The results will be made available on the official websites of the board — sebaonline.org, resultsassam.nic.in, and ahsec.assam.gov.in.

Last year, the pass percentage for Class 10 was 72.69 percent. The pass percentage for the Class 12 Arts stream was 70.12 percent, 79.57 percent for the Commerce stream, and 84.96 percent in the Science stream.

The Assam Board of Secondary Education is expected to release the Assam Board 10th Result 2024 during the first week of May 2024. However, no official announcement has been issued by the Assam Board yet.

The leading space agency announced,

“A common misconception is that NASA only offers engineering internships. Please know that we have opportunities for students who are not majoring in engineering. NASA needs employees with a variety of knowledge and skills. At NASA, our engineers, mathematicians, scientists, accountants, writers, IT specialists, project managers, program analysts, and many other professionals work together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible.”

NASA further added,

“Non-engineering interns may support a variety of business and program management work, including procurement, budgeting, accounting, information technology, and security.”

Eligibility Criteria of NASA Internship

The eligibility criteria for the internship is also an important factor to be taken care of. To apply for the internship, candidates must hold US citizenship and have a minimum GPA from 3.0 to 4.0 on a scale of five.

Candidates of 16 years or older can apply for the internship. The last date to fill up the application form for NASA’s internship programme is April 12, 2024.
