Career Counseling

Career counselling is a type of advice and support provided by career counsellors to their clients, to help the clients manage their journey through life, while learning and working out changes in their career. This includes career exploration, making career choices, managing career changes, lifelong career development and dealing with other career-related issues.

Career counseling, also known as career guidance, is counseling designed to help with choosing, changing, or leaving a career and is available at any stage in life. One's career is often one of the most important aspects of adulthood, and embarking on a new career, whether for the first time, the second time, or any time thereafter, can be a stressful event, especially when economic difficulties such as recession are a factor. A career counselor can help by outlining and discussing one's potential career options.

Our career counsellors will speak to the students, get insights and help them make the right decisions. Our career experts can help you understand your passion and suggest ways to pursue a career.

Researching a wide variety of potential careers may be overwhelming, and information on the skill sets and education needed for a particular position may be contradictory or difficult to find. A career counselor will often be able to provide valuable information in these areas and others.

Some of the following questions may be helpful for narrowing one's focus when considering a career change:

• What do I enjoy doing?
• What kinds of activities are fun and fulfilling for me?
• What am I good at?
• What is my skill set?
• What qualifications do I have, such as a degree or experience?
• How much money do I need to make to feel satisfied?
• What jobs are available in the place(s) I’d like to live?
• Do I want to travel?
• What are my values?
• Is it important to me to be of service to others?
• Am I looking for intensely challenging work or something relatively easy?
• Am I willing to do what others tell me without question, or would I rather make most decisions on my own?
• To what degree do I need stability and security?
