New Delhi, Nov 3 (PTI) Non-profit trust Quest Alliance on Friday said it has brought out artificial intelligence-based game 'Career Quest' which helps students from vulnerable sections of the society to explore different career paths through simulation.

An immersive and experiential career exploration game for adolescents called Career Quest which offers exposure to different career journeys is now live and accessible to the public, Quest Alliance said in a statement.

The game, developed by Quest Alliance, helps students largely from vulnerable sections of the society navigate different career choices and understand likely feedback from parents, peers and society on their choices, the statement said, adding that it has been tested with over 1,000 students across the country.

Career Quest helps students rehearse various career scenarios through simulations and evaluate the role of gender stereotypes, peer pressure and parental negotiations in their decision-making process.
