But they are not aware of what to do when this part is paid off. Rather, at the end of their education life, they fall into a confused state where they do not understand what to do. 

They take time to acquire the skills they need in the workplace after their student life for which they do not have enough time. Although male students can overcome this random situation in a very short time, it is not an easy path for female students. Because they have surround impedance. It is often seen that many girls drop out after their education life because of this condition cannot be overcome. Because they are unable to prepare themselves, they are not much visible in the workplace.

From this thinking, a hands on job preparation workshop "A Dream to Guide" was organized on July 27 and 28 July in the initiative of Bangladesh Open Source Network (BDOSN). The workshop was organized in the office of BDOSN with a total of 11 graduate women students.
