The Need and Importance of Career Guidance and Counseling

After you complete your 10th or 12th, it becomes pretty essential for you to start taking your career goals seriously and you need to make a decision about your definite career option. However, there are many factors involved while deciding a career and these factors play a huge role in your success.

However, it is not easy to keep so many things in mind and decide a career option. And sometimes, it becomes quite a daunting task for the student to make a decision and this may turn out to be depressive in the later years. In this scenario, it is always wise to seek help from a professional, experienced and a qualified career counselor who can help the student find the real potential and choose the career accordingly.

The career counselors generally evaluate the student with three main factors – interest, personality and aptitude. Based on these three factors, the counselor helps the student to find the right choice of career.

There are a lot of benefits of taking help from a career counselor. They are –

•    Help the student determine their true potential – The idea of getting a career counselor is to determine the student’s true potential. Whilst most student know what to do in their lives, what their passion is, there are many others who find it hard to decide the same. Although they are good in many sectors, they cannot simply determine their true potential and passion for one thing. The career counselor can help such students to find their true potential with regular aptitude tests, and counseling sessions.

•    Clear doubts – Although a lot of students know what they want to do in their lives, they do not know how to achieve that particular goal and what kind of examinations they have to pass or what to study. A qualified career counselor can help the student with the right kind of information they need and clear their doubts about everything.

•    Motivates the student – The career counselor motivates the student through therapies and counseling to achieve their goal. During the initial stage, it is very important for the student to have the right kind of motivation and support. The counselor understands that and according to the requirements she helps the student with all the support he/she needs.

It is very crucial for a student to know what they want to do in their life for a better future. And if the student is unable to decide on his own, he should go through proper career guidance and counseling for best results.
