With more and more career options available to students today, choosing a career has become an important task. Everyday new career avenues are emerging.  Right from animation, advertising, jewellery designing to capital markets, retail management and commodities exchange. There are so many streams that a student today can choose from. However, choosing a career will mean that a student needs to first analyze his or her strengths and weaknesses, interest areas, feasibility to pursue that career and also evaluate and research about different career options available to him/her. Here comes the role of career counselling. Many students especially those in their tenth and 12th standard are confused about their career. Counselling helps these students to select the right career for them depending on various factors such as interest levels, aptitude levels, IQ, personality type, ambitions etc. This process helps a student to prioritize and choose the best option for him/her.

A trained professional counselor helps you identify careers and professions best suited for you. A student needs to go through certain tests on the basis of which the counselor suggests suitable career options for you. Career counselling helps you to identify your values, aspirations and goals.

A career counselor not just helps you in listing out professions that you can choose but also guides you in how should one go about pursuing or planning that career that you have chosen. He or she helps you in identifying the colleges that offer courses suited to your career choice, entrance exams that one needs to give if any and also assist you with basic information needed to choose that career.

Students are realizing the importance of career counselling because this process helps them to clear their confusions regarding their career and gives them a clear path and a set goal in their life. Today, careers are not just restricted to being a doctor or an engineer; one can choose new emerging careers that the counselor can guide you with. Career counselling has helped so many students to select the right career and become successful.
