Why career counseling?

While planning for your career, you are planning for your life. There are many factors that must be taken into consideration while taking this decision. Career Counsellors help the student understand themselves better, their strengths, weaknesses, interests and aptitude. They give you an unbiased opinion, give you knowledge and information to help you make the decision for yourself. They make you aware of the various options available that you didn’t know of or wouldn’t have thought of. They take the help of psychometric tests to analyse the student and give their suggestions / information.

You will also create a digital profile on the Y-Axis Account so that you understand how we will collaborate with each other. We listen to what you and your parents have to say. Are you in agreement with each other or have different ideas? Do you have a career path that is realistic and will be applicable in the future?

Step 2  –  Know yourself

In this stage you will be given links to complete some psychometric tests, the results of which will help the counsellor generate a unique Career Report that you can refer to, to make a decision. Once you have completed these tests, a Career Report will be generated wherein there will be an in-depth breakdown of the various tests.
