To guide students on their study and career path, we will rapidly expand our footprint across India to meet this demand through dedicated Study Abroad centers. The bulk of our new centers will be Franchise Partner driven, though we plan to adopt a hub-and-spoke model with a Central processing team and one Company-Owned ...

These centers will provide full-service support, including Counselling, Test prep (IELTS, GMAT, GRE, SAT), Study Abroad Admissions Consulting, Student VISA support, Education loan assistance and accommodation support. This would further enable students to enjoy a superior experience backed by the 27 years of education excellence that the Career Launcher brand represents.
