Lucknow, 24 December 2025:Career Pathways, a leading name in career counselling and guidance, marked a significant milestone by celebrating its 15th Annual Foundation Day on 30th November 2025 at the prestigious Fairfield by Marriott Lucknow. The event commemorated fifteen years of dedicated service towards empowering students, supporting families, and partnering with schools to enable informed and meaningful career decisions.
The celebration was attended by family members, close friends, eminent educationists, and principals of reputed schools from across the city, making the evening both memorable and deeply meaningful. The gathering reflected the strong relationships and trust that Career Pathways has built over the years within the education ecosystem.
