What is Career Counselling?
Typically, our clients aren’t sure what direction they want to head in but know they’re not satisfied with where they are now.
Our career counselling service takes an in-depth approach to understanding you and finding the career that lines up with your passion, skills, and interests.
How does it work?
Many people aren’t sure whether to engage the assistance of a career counsellor because they’re unsure exactly what the service involves. Career counselling involves undergoing:
- Identification of skills you enjoy doing vs. skills you’re good at
- One-on-one consultation
- Career assessments
- Career action plan
- Skills gap analysis
- Career mapping
Once these factors are mapped out on a matrix, it’s easy to identify your ideal role.
What are the benefits of Career Counselling?
A career consultation can be a huge asset to improving not only your career but also your life. It helps to redefine what you can offer the workforce and what you might be interested in pursuing. For many people, there are options out there that fit them perfectly, but they don’t know they exist. The key benefits of career counselling are:
- Determining your strengths, interests, and values
- Understanding your available career options

- Enhancing your personal brand
