Athletic trainers are part of an athletic health care team that is responsible for prevention, management, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. Athletic trainers are integral members of the health care team in almost all the secondary schools, colleges and universities, professional sports programs, sports medicine clinics, corporate/industrial, and other health care settings. The athletic trainer's professional preparation is based on the development of specific educational competencies and clinical proficiencies. A bachelor's degree in athletic training is a must for all those who wish to pursue a career as an athletic trainer. Through a combination of formal classroom and clinical instruction and experience, athletic trainers are trained in prevention of athletic injuries, recognition, evaluation, and immediate care of athletic injuries, rehabilitation and reconditioning of athletic injuries, health care administration, and education and counseling.
Students who complete the athletic training major are eligible to apply for the athletic trainer certification exam, which is offered by the Board of Certification, Inc. The exam is usually held in April of the senior year. Students who pass this exam and complete their degree are awarded a professional credential ATC. ATC is only the entry-level credential for practicing athletic training. In over 40 states across the United States, ATCs have to be licensed or registered to practice.
There are a variety of work settings where ATCs are employed and provide care for both athletes and non-athletes alike. In most of the programs, graduates elect to go on directly to a master's degree program, usually as paid graduate assistants. For those students who enter the workplace immediately after completing their bachelor's degree, the most common settings nationwide are at outpatient clinics with high school and inter-collegiate athletics coverage. Some ATCs also join secondary schools, colleges and universities.

Importance of Career Planning
By Munir Moosa
Career means profession, which we want to adopt for earning livelihood, and planning means proper flow or to make proper decisions. Pre- planning in our life plays very important role in every aspect of life, to work in a proper flow, and pre-planning for career, which we want to pursue in our future ahead after acquiring certain level of degree is also very necessary in today’s competitive world.
According to the Thorndike dictionary
“A goal that you desire to achieve in a selected field or occupation with a well-thought out plan, to get you there is called Career Planning.”
The world is now moving very fast, and the time has come when this meritocratic society accepts only those, having right qualification and right skills. Olden days are gone, when just a degree would help an individual to get high profile job by giving bribe or using some other mean. Now it’s high time, when the transparency in job recruitment has taken place.
Challenges and competition are the part of today’s society, and therefore, Career Planning is the only task, which can guide us to do what we want to do in our life, rather than just aimlessly changing job all the time in future.
We have seen many Pakistani, who after completing Intermediate don’t know where to go, what to do and we have also seen graduates, who aimlessly do graduation without any specialization. As a result, they earns just in 6-8 figures.
Career Planning is one of the broader aspects of learning in our existence. We all have some intentions and we all think to have stability in our future lives, and for that purpose, CAREER PLANNING serves as a key to success.
Career Planning makes a person to think suitably about their positive and negative aspects. All about their interest, about their creativity becomes possible through proper analyzing ourselves.
Career Planning basically starts, when a person finishes Secondary/ Higher Secondary level of education. After that level, a person could opt for that educational degree, which would help them out to have a good job opportunity according to their skills at the right time.
Career Planning helps us to design and formulate our future smoothly. Like, If a person wants to be a banker, then he or she would choose to go for ACCA or CA or MBA in finance after completing Intermediate in commerce and Graduation in commerce/ business administration.. Else he/ she would go for CAT course or Masters in Commerce or even upto doctorate level.
This pre-planning would be effective and would give him/her benefits after achieving educational targets effectively. It also helps us to evaluate our own personality, which helps us to know that which kind of job would suit us according to our need and capabilities.
In short, Career Planning is like mapping our future.
Without proper planning, no one could think of getting a desired job in future.
Think what we want to do and finding out more about the kind of training, education, and skills we will need to achieve our career goal is the core objective of career planning. It help us knowing the nature of the jobs that interest us, such as educational requirements, salary, working conditions, fringe benefits, promotion chances, future prospectus, and help us focusing in the right dimension.
Career planning directs us, motivates us, and helps us to accomplish what we want. A career goal is a specific vision such as an architect or a teacher or a career goal can be a particular field, which we want to work in, such as Media, Education, Medicine, Engineering etc.
For those who will think about their future and career after completing education without any long term desired goals are the one, whose all attempt might end in smoke. There are some cases and situation, which bound a person to pre-plan in advance, such like family high family business status, lack of interest in studies or traditional job, low motivation, low financial status etc or some past educational traumas, which had made a person to plan after wards.
Career planning is a life time process we are always learning and growing, and as we do, our interests and needs also change. Career planning is not just making plans to obtain our career, but it also help us to make many adjustments there will be along the ways we learn throughout our lives.
Those who have successful careers like educators, business man, manager, pilot, architect, banker, doctor etc are the one, who has made their ways through proper guidance.
No doubt, that our parents have some wishes and expectations from us, but we have our own too. Therefore, we should also consider others opinion. For that we could take guidance from an educational counselor to get better guidance towards new dimensional fields as well. Teacher, professionals, career guidance websites, Head educational consultants can also guide us, to have a better approach for our future.
We must have freedom of speaking and freedom of choosing our career as we have to lead our lives which interest us. We must try to have an open mind in order to choose the right career on right time.
According to one renowned professor,
“Few of us like to opt for those degree courses, which their family or friend has advised them to adopt and this inappropriate knowledge trapped them into a great mistake and In this way, they are unable to get good job opportunities according to their interests. Only Proper Career Guidance would help an individual to be on the right path before hand. Few of us try to seek the right path and take guidance from family or teacher to tell them what is good for them, which career is in demand and which career suits their interest.”
The future is un-predictable, however, we could still make our place in this meritocratic world by making career goals and plans in advance, for getting better opportunities in todays pluralistic and globalize world. We must pre-plan our goals under the supervision of professionals in conscious state of mind, so that we could strategically maintain our goals and follow it towards the path of successful future.

Much-Sought Opportunity to Study Abroad in the UK, Australia and New Zealand
By Denish Gupta
UK, Australia, New Zealand are one of the most popular destinations for studying overseas. With internationally recognized educational institutions and a common language is the most important advantage of these. More than 30000 students from the USA and Canada have a choice to study overseas in the UK because of diverse cultures world wide and the common language. UK offers a great technological experience, high-tech facilities, and innovative research environment to attract outsiders.
International reputation maintained by the UK in terms of education is admirable and the country fairly earns global respect and meets internationally set quality standards. Study in the UK these days has become really cost-effective because of the cut-throat competition amongst various agencies and institutes for tuition fees and scholarships they are offering. The oldest and most prestigious university offers a year long, semester, and summer program for students who study abroad in the UK. There are many funding and scholarship program offered by institutions and hence financing is no longer a hindrance for those who are willing to pursue higher studies overseas. These countries also offer “Learn while you earn” facilities by offering part time work for the students like 20 hours per week during your study period and 40 hours per weak during holidays in the study period.

Preparation For University
By Sharon White
To get a place on a university for higher education course in the UK a student would usually need, firstly, a qualification equivalent to UK level 3. It is A level which includes two three subjects or Double GNVQ Advanced level or BTEC (Business and Technology Education Council) national qualification level. Secondly, a student applying for higher education needs to have an English language qualification, which is certified by IELTS exam scores which should be at least 6 scores; if English knowledge is certified by Cambridge CAE (Certificate in Advanced English), GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) English Language the scores must be at least at grades from A to C; TOEFL (Test Of English as Foreign Language which is the American equivalent to the British IELTS) requires minimum 580 scores for a student to be recognized for university.
If a student willing to enter UK university has school leaving qualifications which are higher than UK level 2 but would not normally be considered as equivalent to UK level 3, or he or she wants a year to improve his/her English and gain experience of academic study in English, he or she could take a one year International Foundation course or an AS (Advanced Subsidiary) level or single (one year) GNVQ (General national Vocational Qualification) level. If a student entering the UK university is from another country where the school system and academic environment are quite different from the UK he or she would be required to have at least two year course at level 3. It means he/she would have A level Double (two years) GNVQ Advanced or BTEC National Diploma.
