Career counselling

Career counselling is a domain of counseling that focuses on helping individuals find the right career pathway.

In career counselling the individuals receive guidance from professional counselors that provide expert advice on the potentials, motivations, skills and shortcomings with the use of carefully designed assessment tools. These assessment tools are both subjective and objective.

With increasingly myriad career options rising, career counselling has become an essential part of people’s life. Students after completing their 10th are often indecisive of what to do further. This indecisiveness could be a result of social pressure, lack of parental guidance, multiple career options, ignorance of personal potentials etc.

Although career counselling is vital to all age groups, teenagers can benefit most from it. Besides students, career counselling also caters to employees who have already chosen a career and are not satisfied with it. These individuals are redirected towards their goals and are given insight into their professional orientation. Career counselors also link students to experts who represent as models to encourage and to positively reinforce the students. Factors like life satisfaction, self-efficacy, happiness etc.are all co-dependent to job satisfaction therefore there is a lot of importance given to career counselling.
