What is career guidance?

Career Guidance helps individuals identify their own strengths, interests, personality preferences and values, and then match them with potential career choices.

Career guidance is essential for all individuals, regardless of their age, gender, or background. It can help young adults make informed decisions about further education and employment opportunities. It can help adults explore new career options, find ways to advance in their current position, and understand how to balance work and family life.

It can also help the elderly make decisions about retirement and how to make the most of their remaining years.

What is Skill Development?

Skill development is the process of acquiring and honing skills in order to improve one’s ability to perform certain tasks. It is a crucial part of professional and personal development, as it helps to increase the effectiveness of a person’s abilities, making them more capable of reaching their goals.

Skill development involves a variety of techniques, such as on-the-job training, mentoring, self-learning, and formal education.

  USEFUL TIP 

Learn how to apply your qualification to specific career areas, what types of employers are hiring for different qualifications, and strategies for breaking into particular fields.

Why is CAREERPLAN a need for all?

The first step in planning your career is to know yourself. Whether you are a first-year high school student interested in learning how courses relate to careers or a recent graduate, It is crucial that you first identify your INTERESTS, VALUES, SKILLS, and PERSONALITY PREFERENCES in order to make a well-informed decision.

Learning about your interests will help you identify opportunities to pursue and topics you are most naturally drawn to, making learning and work more motivating and enjoyable.
Values are the things that motivate and drive you toward certain decisions, behaviours and goals. Values greatly influence the career decision-making process, job satisfaction, and ultimately, life satisfaction.
Skills are the things that you are good at and have the ability to do well. Assessing your skills allows you to determine which skill you want to acquire or further develop, and the specific ways to accomplish those goals, and how your skills match with potential careers.
Personality Preferences & Interpersonal Needs are related to your individual, innate nature and tend to be consistent over time. Understanding personality and interpersonal needs allow you to see correlations between the way you make decisions and your work style.
