Career Counselling

Career Counselling at Our School

Career counselling at our school focuses on helping learners understand their strengths, interests, values, and academic preferences so they can make informed decisions about their future pathways. It is a collaborative process in which students explore various fields of study, emerging career options, and the skills needed for success in different professions.

The programme is designed to guide students through every stage of academic and career planning—from early awareness in the junior years to more structured decision-making in the senior grades. Our approach ensures that students receive timely information, practical tools, and personalised guidance to navigate transitions such as subject selection, university applications, and long-term career planning.

Objectives and Purpose of Career Counselling

• Enable students to develop a positive, proactive approach towards their academic and career choices.
• Help learners identify their strengths and areas for improvement through age-appropriate self-assessment.
• Encourage meaningful engagement in career exploration and planning at every grade level.
• Equip students with essential skills such as decision-making, goal-setting, and research.
• Provide clarity on educational and vocational opportunities at key transition points.
• Offer reliable, up-to-date information about courses, universities, and career pathways suited to each learner’s profile.

What Career Counselling Includes

Career counselling supports students in understanding how their interests, aptitudes, academic performance, and personal motivations align with different professional fields. Counsellors assist learners in exploring subject combinations, understanding university requirements, comparing study options, and evaluating emerging industries and global opportunities.

Students are guided in setting realistic goals, developing long-term plans, and preparing for the expectations of higher education. Through structured sessions, research activities, and one-to-one meetings, the programme empowers students to make confident, informed decisions about their future.

Career Guidance Activities in School

As part of our career education framework, students participate in workshops, pathway planning sessions, university interactions, and informational talks conducted by experts from various fields. These structured activities help students gain clarity about the academic and professional landscape, allowing them to make choices that align with their aspirations.

Our career counselling programme also encourages students to explore multiple fields, understand career clusters, and become familiar with evolving job markets so they are better prepared for the demands of the future.

Careers Expo / University Market

To broaden students’ exposure to diverse opportunities, the school regularly hosts career and university fairs. These events allow learners to interact directly with representatives from leading institutions, understand programme offerings, and gather information about admissions, courses, scholarships, and global career pathways.
