www.timesofindia.com | October 30, 2019
Career Counsellors are an integral element of the entire educational system and overall development of a student’s journey towards a successful career. Career counsellors at school must have the right knowledge and skillset to guide students from a very young age through their college decisions. They design a roadmap for students that will help their journey towards well-defined goals. By syncing their personality, aptitude, and passion with their career path, school counsellors can help align a student’s strengths and interests with their college and course choices.
Keeping in mind the changing world, job market, personal aspirations and aptitude, trained and experienced teachers and counsellors at Stonehill International School advise students based on their subjects of interest, abilities, skills, and personality. The small class numbers at Stonehill ensure that every student receives personalized attention and the right guidance to help students in their career direction, college admissions, interview preparation, and profile building.
