Choosing a career is a decision that shapes a lifetime. The right choice can be rewarding, while the wrong one can be punishing. Understanding this significance has been a journey, with efforts from various sources like songs, movies, and career counselling organizations. Univariety has proudly been at the forefront of spreading this awareness in India.<\/span><\/p>\n

While most schools and parents now understand the value of career guidance, there is a lot of confusion about what the process actually involves. Many people confuse career counselling and career guidance as being one and the same. When in fact, career counselling is only a part of the over-arching career guidance process. This is an important part, but only one of five factors involved in the career guidance process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Do We Mean By The Career Guidance Process?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

For most people, career guidance is all about finding the right career for a student. However, it is not a one-step process. Nobody ever had one one-on-one session with a career counsellor and came out of the room having complete clarity and ready to move forward with their choice of career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Career guidance is not prescribing the right career for a student but rather making them self-aware so that they can decide for themselves. It’s about assessing their strengths and weaknesses, creating ways to make up for those weaknesses and honing the strengths. It\u2019s about giving them the right information so that they can explore their options. It is also about having an open conversation and addressing their doubts without any bias.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To help simplify this complex and subjective process for students and parents, we have come up with a Career Guidance System. Univariety\u2019s Career Guidance System is a sophisticated program backed by scientific research and logic that brings parents and students into one fold in the process of career planning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s understand these five factors involved in an expert career guidance system in detail.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 5 Pillars of an Effective Career Guidance System<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Psychometric Tests<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cEvery child is unique, not only capable of learning but also capable of succeeding.\u201d – <\/span>Robert John Meehan<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every student is unique. They have their own learning style, pace, study patterns, skills they are natural at, lessons they find difficult, and areas they find interesting. These qualities later become the determinants that will help them find their ideal career. However, most students are themselves not aware of their uniqueness; then how can they make as important a decision as a career? That’s why the first step of a career guidance process involves psychometrics to <\/span>identify the Aptitude, Interest and Personality of a student<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psychometric tests<\/a><\/strong> are scientific methods of measuring the Cognitive ability & Personality among other characteristics of an individual. They are tools of self-exploration for students to find out who they are. It is also the point of reference for every other step of the career guidance and counselling process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These 5 common psychometric tests are given to students for career guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n
