Career orientation and counseling
Career counselling focuses on helping individuals find the right career path. Researching a variety of potential careers may be overwhelming, and information on required skill sets and education for a particular position may be contradictory or difficult to find. Career counseling will provide you valuable information in these areas.
You receive guidance and expert advice on your potentials, aptitude, motivations, skills and shortcomings that will help you find you way. There are a number of factors that influence your career development, including your interests, abilities, values, personality, background, and circumstances.
Career is one of the most important aspects of adulthood, and embarking on a new career, whether for the first time or the second time can be a stressful event, especially when economic difficulties are a factor. Career counseling will help you to understand yourself and the world of work in order to make good career and life decisions.
Career counseling will:
- help you figure out who you are, what are your strengths and what you want out of your education, your career, and your life
- enable you to share and organize your ideas, feelings, motivations and concerns about your career and educational choices
- help you identify the factors influencing your career development, and help you assess your interests, abilities, and values
- help you locate resources and sources of career information, and train you to be able to go through the recruitment process successfully
- help you to determine next steps and develop a plan to achieve your goals.
