FAQ

In the age of information inundation and time constraints faced by students and parents due to packed schedules, classes and careers, we often find ourselves under a mountain of information, difficult to filter. By putting a career counselling program at wheels, you ensure that a team of experts, who have expertise and experience in best-fit career options, new age careers, and career paths, can guide you towards the right trail.

There is nothing like the ideal time to make the right decisions. Yet we have seen students go through different cycles of interest and passions, some of which can be fabulous careers if guided at the right time. This makes Middle Schoolers at grade 6th onwards a ripe to time to access their interest and emotional intelligence.

Career guidance is not a one-time activity. It is pertinent to note that at every age, the scope of career counseling varies. Whilst it starts with interest mapping and assessment of emotional intelligence in the 6th and 7th grades, it progresses into career guidance, subject selection, stream selection, board selection, and final decisions on universities, courses, and career paths with each passing year. We recommend a review every six months to stay on the career path and/or plan for course corrections.

Often career decisions are based on the inputs from family, friends, and well-wishers. While this had been one of the traditional methods of career decisions in the past decade, the 21st century entails a scientific method of choosing the right career based on evaluations, inputs, and researches done by experts.

Career counseling is like choosing Google maps to reach your destination. Its quicker, safer, and usually the best route.
