It is imperative to connect k-12 education with a student’s choice of the right career at the right campus. The plethora of choices available today has made it all the more important for schools to provide necessary inputs to its scholars in defining and designing their journey from high school studies to successful vocations. Career Counselling is a long term process as an individual chooses an occupation, prepares for it and progresses towards its success. This exercise is primarily concerned with identifying their aptitude and interest, selection of their related subject, formation of their study habits, charting their progress in those subjects and activities with the ultimate aim of getting good careers as per their wish.
Career counselling helps an individual make clear career decisions after exploring and evaluating their interest, education, related training/skills, work experience and personal traits defined and supported by the right aptitude and achievement tests. The matter of a correct career decision and a student’s direction and progress towards professional goals always plays a crucial role in the development of an individual’s identity and purpose, inculcating positive self-esteem and interpersonal functioning.
