A career couselor is that fellow, who can help you know your real skills, abilities and show a fair picture of what all one can do to lead a happy, sucessful life.

Career is not only about top listed vacancies - its about happiness, feel good and balanced life. Only a well trained career counselor can give you that.

We need career counsellors because

Many students and graduates are confused about their suitable career path. What to choose after 10th? What to do after 12th? Which stream to take? Which stream to take in engineering? etc.
Many professionals are stressed up in their current job. They are doing a job just for the sake of doing it rather than what they are passionate about. According to indeed survey, 42% of the employees are dissatisfied with their jobs.
Hence, we need career counsellors to guide the students, graduates, professionals in the right direction and lead them to happy career life.

Gone are the days when Medical, Engineering or Civil services were the only options available to aspirants of a good career. Today diverse opportunities across a wide spectrum are available to choose from.More importantly there are scientific tools which make individuals aware of their potential and help align their their career paths. However what is the reality?

Young minds at critical stage in career have often been found struggling making career choices. Directives from parents, peer pressure, lack of self awareness and at times unrealistic vision of desired future life (which may be at cross purposes with personality, interest and skills) infuse high degree of confusion. All this is avoidable as experts are available who can empower individuals through facilitation to embark on potentially satisfying career path.
