What are the key differences between Career Counselling and Career Profiling?
Career profiling and career counselling are distinct yet complementary approaches to career development.
Career profiling is a tool that provides a foundation for career exploration, while career counselling is a process that helps you build upon that foundation to achieve your career aspirations. They can be used independently or in conjunction with each other to support your career journeys.

Who is career counselling for?
Career counselling is suitable for anyone seeking guidance in their career journey.
No matter you are students, fresh graduates, working adults, or those considering a career change, it can assist you with career-related concerns.
What happens during a career counselling session?
You’ll have a one-on-one session with a counsellor to explore your interests, strengths, values, and goals. The session may include discussions, exercises, or career assessments tailored to your needs.
However, for career tests or assessments, while they are helpful and beneficial, it is optional, depending on your needs and the counsellor’s advice on whether to include them in the session or not.
It varies from person to person on how many sessions you will need. Some may benefit from just one or two sessions, while others may prefer a few more for ongoing support and planning.
Will the counsellor tell me what job I should choose?
Although counsellors give you suggestions on careers, they don’t make decisions for you. Instead, they guide and support you in discovering what career paths align best with your personality, values, and aspirations.
