At the college level, students expose them to what they study in their books and concentrate more on their exams. It becomes important for them to score good marks. However, the actual job or a career has a lot more to understand and hence Career Counselling is important at the college level. Career counselling is a process to understand yourself as well as the world of work better in order make career and life decisions. It is more than just what you want to earn after you graduate.
With the abundance of courses and careers and various distracting factors such as monetary benefits, common preference and the like, the choice is often difficult. Professional requirements dictate all careers and hence interest is a driving factor behind the choice of career. Career Counselling is a form of guidance to young students to take them on the right path towards the right career.
Typical career counselling sessions at our college involves one to one communication with a good counselor and guest lectures by professionals, an expert in that field that boosts the confidence of a student and transforms him/her into a good employee. Long-term success is achieved through building a great level of motivation and self-esteem. It also improves the overall performance of a student. Emotional support is enhanced through the understanding of expanding your network and team building, which is part of the career counselling sessions.
