Career Counseling and Guidance

Do you feel that you are at cross roads?

Are you confused about which direction to move?

Are you remaining indecisive?

Are you unsure about the choices to make when it comes to what you want out of your education and career?

Don’t you feel that worthy self-discovery about your strengths, passion and core competencies, will give more focus in career and life?

Don’t you think you want a career which fulfills your passion, makes use of your core strengths, gets you a worthy pay and has immense growth opportunities?

If your answer is “Yes” to all of the above, then you require the professional help of a career counselor.  

There is a lot of significance attached to the whole process of career counseling. The moment you decide to seek a counselor’s services, you pass on the responsibility of success of your professional journey to the shoulders of your counselor. Career Counseling and guidance aims at discussing and understanding the problem of candidates, to evaluate the interests and needs of students, suggest a career path based on their needs  and empowering the candidate to take a decision concerning his/her career or life goals in one-to-one sessions.
