Vocational training and guidance ( student services)
Vocational training and guidance is a broad term and it covers a wide range of services provided in an organization in guiding people opting a best career for oneself. Here our focus is on educational and career counseling only. Educational/Student counseling is a specialized service aimed at helping students navigate academic choices, manage educational challenges, and set personal and career goals. This type of counseling is typically provided in schools, colleges, and universities, as well as in private practice, and is especially valuable for students as they face key decisions about their studies, career pathways, and personal growth.
Types of Educational Counseling we are providing
- School Counseling
- College and University Counseling
Why there is a Need for Student Counseling Services?
- Many schools and communities face shortages of trained educational counselors, limiting access to quality support for students who need it.
- Many schools don’t have the counselor at all. Or if some schools have counselors their number is limited and it is not easy for them to manage large caseloads, making it difficult to provide personalized attention to each student.
- A growing number of students face mental health issues, from anxiety to depression, creating additional demands on educational counselors who may lack specialized training in mental health.
- Students may feel pressure from family or cultural expectations regarding their academic and career choices, which can lead to conflict or stress.
- Socioeconomic disparities can affect the quality of counseling and resources available, with students in under-resourced schools often receiving limited guidance.
