10th class is an
important milestone in a student’s higher education journey or rather say in
one’s Career journey.
It is the first and foremost
cross road and a great Career Planning opportunity for a 10th
student to PLAN and make compatible STREAM/ SUBJECTS CHOICES keeping in mind
the Big Picture of their Career Journey.
It is not difficult to calculate
the high cost of selecting an incompatible Stream or incompatible choices of
Subjects for 11th class, affecting the student’s motivation level at
the same time.
A U-turn in middle of the
academic session in 11th or 12th class may really be an
expensive affair and often brings irrevocable consequences due to loss of
opportunity to realise one’s full potential.
On the other hand, a Structured
Career Guidance Program with a view to do a thorough Career Planning under
the expert Career Counselor with the support of scientific Career Tools &
Technology; lay a strong foundation for students, preparing them early for
their:
· higher education goal(s)
· College Planning,
· Entrance exams
and most importantly;
· it boosts their confidence, provides inner
motivation
· to give their best in academics in 10th class
· while building upon their natural talents and
innate potential.
The clarity about one’s natural
talents and innate potential while making choices of subjects/ streams, builds
confidence and provides inner motivation to students to give their best in
academics in 10th class having clear sight of their higher education
goal(s).
Need of Structured Career Guidance
Structured Career Guidance for effective Career Planning
starting at the first ever milestone i.e., 10th class; is a great
opportunity that parents & students shouldn’t miss rather must build
upon. A Structured Career Counseling Program engages
the following stakeholders and tools:
1.
A Career Guidance Expert (Career Counselor)
2.
Parent(s) and
3.
Student
4.
Career Tools & Technologies
And, is a rigorous and structured process that involves a) identification
of one’s Natural/ Inborn Talents b) identification of one’s Interests &
Motivations with the help of effective Career Assessment Tools while engaging
the student for validation and c) a deeper level expert analysis to identify
the emerging themes in view of the modern careers and future skills d) followed
by the Career Counseling session to create a Career Vision of the student for
the next 3-5 years. The Career Vision not only provides clarity of the
subjects/ stream for class 11th but also the top few Compatible
Career Pathways where the student may excel and realise Self Potential to the
optimum. This Career Vision is revisited after two years during the
mid-academic session of 12th class.
