Importance of Career Counselling

Importance of Career Counselling

With countless career options on the rise, career counselling has become an essential part of people's lives. After passing 10th students are often confused about what to do next. This ambiguity may be a result of social pressure, lack of parental guidance, multiple career options, neglect of individual potential, etc. Career counsellors address these issues effectively. Although career counselling is important for all age groups, teenagers can benefit the most from it. Apart from students, career counselling is also provided to employees who have already chosen a career and are not satisfied with it. These individuals are redirected towards their goals and given an insight into their professional status. Career counsellors also connect students with experts who serve as role models to encourage and positively reinforce students. Factors like life satisfaction, self-efficacy, happiness, etc. are co-dependent on job satisfaction hence career counselling is given great importance.

Educational consultant for vocational courses

Often, it has been observed that students enroll for a course, not knowing what it actually offers. Their great name, peer pressure, and popularity motivate the student to choose the course. Although many parents are becoming aware of the need for guidance and career counselling, some parents force their children to choose traditional and money-making careers. Vocational courses are offered in fields like engineering, psychology, commerce, humanities, sciences, and others that demand specific skill sets.

Career counselling for students is gaining momentum in India, with the increase in awareness about the importance of career counselling among the parent population, more and more parents are voluntarily enrolling their children in career counseling. Schools, colleges, and educational institutes are also encouraging students to career counselling. The government also insists on providing compulsory career counseling and guidance to students at the school level to help them choose the right career path it. Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, and Pune have the highest number of career counseling centers.
