What Does the Future of Career Counselling look like?

Future of Career Counselling

Welcome to the present and future of career counselling. Taking inspiration from Finland's strong education system, we need to provide autonomy to our teachers and counsellors who can then adapt their service to the needs of our students. According to the World Development Report, a strong​​​​​​​​​​​​system to move towards innovative learning is micro-level systemic knowledge interventions. This means new pedagogical methods, digital technologies to enhance learning, and strategies to keep all stakeholders motivated. One of the most interesting innovations mentioned in this report is the development of career counselling.

What does the future of career counselling look like?

  • The present and future are digital:

Mobility, accessibility, and flexibility are key if anything is to succeed with students today. Career counselling is about helping a 16-year-old decide what his future might be. With so much development and advancement in technology, advising students has become very systematic. Needless to say, digitally chatting, email, video counselling sessions, and highly engaging information provided in digital format are very effective forms of career counselling.

  • Linear Integration of Career Guidance in Subjects:

Career counselling as a 30-minute, once-a-month activity in 12th grade is as old as classes without a digital learning board. Some of the nation's most selective progressive schools and many others in the world view career guidance as a comprehensive process rather than a discrete deadline, last-minute activity.

  • Guidance is omnipotent; But also universal:

Let's face it. Students get guidance from family, friends, relatives, Steve Jobs, and Shah Rukh Khan. They also get it from Google, YouTube, and Facebook. This is the era of free-flowing information. Therefore, the lines between fact and fiction are blurred. So, we can't gush, but we can direct it.

Let's talk about one of the most cutting-edge best practices in career counselling. It's purposefully crafted information that's interesting, snackable, and completely reliable. This type of value addition comes from experts, mentors, celebrities, peers, and alumni.
