WHAT IS CAREER COUNSELING ?

Career Counseling is a process that will help you to know and understand yourself and the world of work in order to make career, educational, and life decisions. Career development is more than just deciding on a major and what job you want to get when you graduate or complete your HSC or qualify any competent skill set.

Students need career counselling in selecting the right education program that helps them progress in their career. Many subjects are taught in school. After passing the 10^th board exams, every student faces the dilemma of making specific career decisions.

Since, colleges offer specific streams of education to further the career of students, they sometimes find hard time choosing them. Commerce, science, arts, and computers are the most common streams of education for a student to choose from. Each of these fields has many offshoots that give an amalgamation of choices.

For instance, a student who is good at maths and has a flair for computers can choose computers, as math and logical reasoning is needed in this field. A proper counselling can provide clarity to students as well as professionals in making the right career choices.
