Introducing Students’ Destination – a unique and indispensable platform that empowers students to determine and achieve their career objectives through practical and scientific proprietary tools and processes. This pioneering initiative is backed by industry veterans and offers self assessments and insights into making the right career choices along with complete guidance and counselling by certified career counsellors. Various professional and personal development skills are also imparted to students to enhance their confidence and prepare them for the right career. Students’ Destination believes that through greater insight, greater knowledge and greater skill comes greater achievement.
In a world filled with career choices ranging from medicine to mass communications, engineering to event management and marine biology to information technology, you and your child would be confused about which career to pick.
A large number of students continue to choose a career based merely on the fact that their friends are doing the same or because their parents told them to do so. This, however, may not be the best way to go about it.
Career Counselling helps your child to gain better self-understanding and work-world knowledge in order to make better career, educational and life decisions. The goal of Career Counselling is not only to help your child make decisions now but to give your child the knowledge and skills required to make future career and life decisions as well.
It consists of four critical components :
Helping your child gain greater self-awareness in areas such as interests, values, abilities and mindset orientation.
Connecting your child to resources that impart greater knowledge about jobs and occupations.
Engaging your child in the decision-making process so that the chosen career path is well suited to your child’s interests, abilities and mindset orientation.
Assisting your child to be an active owner of his/her career path and inculcate a habit of sustained professional development.
