You may be here because…

01

The working professional

Years of experience, but income still tied to one job. You want a personal brand and a second source of income.

02

Between jobs

A layoff can end a chapter — or start one. What else can you build with everything you already know?

03

Returning after a break

Your experience did not disappear. You are not starting from zero — you are restarting with experience.

04

The retired professional

Decades of leadership and knowledge can become the foundation for a flexible, meaningful next chapter.

05

The expert unsure what's next

People already ask you for advice. You need an offer, an audience and a repeatable service.

06

Looking for a first or second income

You don't need to quit or know everything. You need a practical, responsible first step.

The big shift

Many people are not short of knowledge. They are short of direction.

Employee

  • Sells time
  • Depends primarily on employment
  • Expertise stays inside the organisation

CareerPreneur

  • Creates value from expertise
  • Builds a personal brand and additional opportunities
  • Helps people solve meaningful problems
  • Builds greater career choice over time

The goal is not to tell everyone to quit their job. The goal is to help people build choices.

Dr. Vijay Suryashekhar
About the founder
“What can I do with everything I have learned so far?”

That single question has shaped my work since 2009. Over the past 17+ years, I have trained and coached more than 20,000 students, graduates, working professionals and career-changers — helping them see that their knowledge and experience are not the end of a story, but the beginning of a new one.

Through NuSkillz Academy — an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 29993:2017 certified, MSME and Startup India registered organisation — I have designed career guidance programmes, workshops and mentoring journeys used across India and abroad. SetYourCareer.com brings all of that together into one AI-enabled platform, built to help experienced professionals like you turn expertise into coaching, training and consulting opportunities.

I believe your career should be about growth, contribution, purpose, skills, impact and, over time, choice. You don't have to figure it all out today — you just need to take the next meaningful step.

The founder's story

I Have Helped People Find Their Direction. Now, It's Your Turn.

Turning their dreams into achievements.

Since 2009, I have been helping students, graduates, working professionals, and families make better-informed career decisions.

Over the years, I have seen what happens when a confused student finds the right direction, when a graduate discovers a path forward, and when a professional regains confidence in their future.

These are not just career decisions. They can change the direction of a person's life.

At NuSkillz, my work has been about bringing clarity where there is confusion, identifying possibilities where there seem to be none, and helping people make informed career choices.

And the most rewarding part? Hearing people say, “Now I know what to do next.”

Now, I Want to Extend This Opportunity to You.

You already have something valuable: your knowledge, professional experience, life lessons, and the ability to understand people.

Perhaps you have spent years teaching, working in a corporate role, managing teams, training people, or building expertise in a particular field.

What if you could use that experience to help someone else find their direction?

You do not have to figure everything out alone.

Through the CareerPreneur pathway at NuSkillz, I want to help you develop the skills, confidence, digital capabilities, and practical systems needed to explore this opportunity.

We will work towards helping you learn how to guide people, communicate your expertise, build your presence, and turn your knowledge into a structured service.

I have built my experience by helping people. Now, I want to help you build yours.

Imagine being part of a student's journey from confusion to clarity. Imagine helping a graduate see possibilities they had never considered. Imagine supporting a professional who is ready for a new chapter.

That is the kind of impact we want to help you prepare for.

Your Experience Can Become Someone Else's Turning Point.

The world needs more people who can listen, guide, teach, and help others make informed decisions.

If you have the willingness to learn, the commitment to grow, and a genuine interest in helping people, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.

Your next chapter could be about more than your own success. It could be about the difference you make in other people's lives.

“Very nice and informative session for sure. Initially was confused and at a hault regarding my career. But after the counciling and the analysis done by Dr Vijay, got to know about my strengths, increased my confidence, and helped me narrow down the suitable path for me. Would like to appreciate and thank him for his time, work and valuable feedback. Definitely will suggest those who seek help”
Prasuna SL
“I'm glad that I chose NuSkillz Career Counselling. The initial assessment test focused on all the important aspects from a career selection perspective, and on the basis of it, a comprehensive report was generated that provided a clear future roadmap. It was followed by a counseling session with Dr. Vijay that was superb. He has great knowledge and industry experience, and provided great guidance and motivation for taking the next step in career. I would recommend NuSkillz Career Counselling to everyone seeking career counseling and professional guidance to help choose the best career.”
Rini Saren
“Dr. Vijay, is a great human being, tries to connect instantly with people who need his advice. He helped to clear loads of confusions regarding career options particularly for my son. He counsels the child and his parents with heart, just not for the sake of doing. He also suggested various other fields which my son can venture apart from MBBS and Technology. “Out of the box” ideas for todays youngsters is what is needed, and Dr Vijay helps students in suggesting such ideas with help of lateral thinking”
Smita Naragund

“Confused and agitated, I was in dire need of guidance when I stumbled upon the NuSkillz website. After addressing my issues and taking the psychometric test, I had a very informative and warm experience in my counselling session with Vijay sir. His lively and approachable demeanor immediately put me at ease, and his in-depth understanding of various careers and their scopes offered me much needed clarity. He painted a vivid picture of reality, without sugar coating any details, which is exactly what one needs to hear when they are at crossroads regarding their life and career. Thank you sir!”
