Career counselling is a rapidly expanding field that assists students in making choices regarding their education and future careers. Counsellors consider students’ interests, strengths, personality and goals to suggest suitable academic and career options. After Class 12 or graduation, students who wish to become counsellors can pursue certificate, diploma, postgraduate diploma or master’s programmes in Career Counselling, Guidance and Counselling, Psychology or Education at recognised universities and training institutes. To succeed in this field students need good communication, empathy, listening skills and analytical ability. Qualified career counsellors can find employment opportunities in schools, colleges, universities, coaching centres, EdTech companies, NGOs, and corporate organisations or start their own independent counselling practices. With growing recognition of the importance of career planning, the profession presents great opportunities for students to build confident and successful futures.
