Career counselling for learners:
There have been dramatic changes in the school curriculum over the last few years. It is not a secret that subject choice at schools has a big influence on one’s career choice.
Psychometric tests and career counselling helps learners to identify the careers that they will enjoy and perform well in because of the fact that the learner has:
- The natural ability to perform that specific job;
- The personality profile that will complement the job; and
- A specific interest in the job.
Learners need to choose subjects at school that will open doors for them in terms of suitable career paths. Most learners need career guidance/counselling in order to achieve this.
Career counselling for adults:
