Counselling
This is one of the questions that worries every student and parent and ends up putting them in a fix.
Students have been questioning themselves for generations and still haven’t received clear answers. That is because there is no fixed answer to this question.
Some students are lucky to know exactly what they want in life from an early age and are able to plan and make the right choices; it’s like their career has chosen them instead of the other way around.
But many of them are not so fortunate, and the enormous range of career and academic choices is leaving them overwhelmed and confused.
As experts, we help students understand the depth of each subject, which helps them channel their energies towards a planned career path. We aren’t magicians, but we use our mapping tools to understand the candidate’s profile and thoughts in a wider array, which then assists us in crafting the career map.
Another question of discussion between every student and parent.
Well, there is no RIGHT TIME for when one should start thinking about future career aspects.
Ideally, a student should begin exploring career pathways in such a manner that it helps them choose their streams in high school. Retrospectively, it is noted that quite often such decisions are made as per the family's opinion, hot career options, peer pressure, and many other reasons.
It is very strange that a student’s interest, potential, attitude, and aptitude are not taken into serious consideration, which when explored can equip them to discover their calling.
The path to one’s goal is long; therefore, it is very easy for us humans to get deviated from or lost midway. So, it is necessary to draw up a personalised career map where the goals can be marked, keeping in mind one’s visions, desires, and future in a balanced manner. It is also essential to get mentored during this journey by having a mentor who can support you to cross hurdles and provide you with alternative options when needed.
It is crucial to look at the student on a broader scope by trying to analyse their talents, skills, interests, likes, and motives in a most realistic and profound manner. This shall empower us to sort out different areas for development and scopes for improvement, which can further guide us in choosing the best career fit.

But to keep pace with this evolving world, it is essential to allow the child to think outside the box of the standard career options of a doctor, engineer, MBA, etc.
Even today, many parents and families tend to believe that good academic performance is the key to a successful future. But they fail to understand the difference between advising and enforcing, and they unknowingly pressure their child to opt for a career that they have no inclination towards.
The one-word solution is career counselling.
Each child has tremendous potential that is yet to be discovered and explored. Here is where a career counsellor can come into the picture and help throw light on all possible subject combinations and career opportunities that will help these young minds grow and make informed career decisions.
A career counselling session not only provides information about possible career pathways but also evaluates the personality, interests, abilities, and skills of the student. According to statistics, 67% of youth say that career counselling has played an imperative role in their career-making decisions, but unfortunately, only 2 out of 10 students actually opt for career guidance in India.
Well, the answer is straightforward: decreased awareness and parental and peer influence.
But in today’s world, choosing a career has become increasingly complex. Due to newer technologies and multiple careers emerging, career confusion is very common today.
Therefore, young adults are getting attracted to rising careers without foreseeing their future options, whereas parents are insisting on sticking to the traditional career routes to play it safe. This is where career counselling is necessary to bridge the gap between parents and children.
Thus, parent counselling services are essential for every parent who wants the best plan for their child. Gaining guidance about the right school board, mapping out your child’s career path, and overall guidance to help you plan your child’s career and aspirations is very necessary today.
So as parents, it is time to step out of your confused state of mind and take professional advice from someone who has in-depth knowledge and experience in being able to help you.
