If one doesn't have a triumphant profession, it becomes complicated to achieve supplementary targets. Accordingly, since career has become a major aspect of our lives, an appropriate guidance methodology should be available. But in the current context, the problem of not having a mechanism to bridge the industry and the students who look for employment opportunities and also the circumstances where students who are not equipped with proper professional skills struggle a lot with the career are major complications.The aim of this research is to address these issues by assisting students through stepwise career guidance and development solutions with the help of emerging technology and in a way that suits the modern digital era. The proposed solution is focusing on implementing a web based system for facilitating the interaction of students with industry experts, university industry collaboration, mentorship and guidance, and many more provisions through a single platform. The solution is developed by analyzing the requirements and the expectations of the users through conducting various surveys and questionnaires where the validity and the need of developing such a system were ensured by the verified results obtained from those methodologies. Thereby, this research elaborates how the solution is suggested to resolve the above-mentioned complexities and to uplift the students’ career life effectively, guiding them towards success
