Career counseling seeks to identify slow learners and effectively train them in order to prepare them for higher education. Students from both urban and rural locations benefit from career counseling in terms of personal assistance. To assist students in understanding their skills, interests and personalities. Our institution provides career counseling at two levels. First, we guide students at the college level, and our teachers visit various interior and rural sectors near the town to inform students about the various fields of career that they can pursue after completing their Higher Secondary education. Even during Covid-19 time the counselors were in constant touch with students, motivating them, educating them about precautions and boosting their moral to continue to gain knowledge
Practice:
Counseling helps individuals improve their listening, empathy and interpersonal skills to have a healthy career and lifestyle. Students who have completed their 12th grade are frequently unsure of what to do next. This indecisiveness could be caused by social pressure, a lack of parental supervision, various professional possibilities, a lack of awareness of personal potential etc. Our career counselors aid indecisive students by providing them with mental health and well-being support. In reality, during the period of COVID, when no one was confronted with these issues our college took this pandemic as a challenge and organized virtual counseling for each department or each subjective student with the use of social media.
