Why is career counseling important for high school students?
Career counseling should be done in the school itself for class 9-11 students specifically because these are the levels where students choose a particular stream as their specialization and also, it will be helpful for them to decide the stream they should opt for. This is because many students are not satisfied with the stream they choose and tend to change it; this happens in absence of proper guidance about options available as per their interest and different education stream.
Nowadays, many counselors prefer psychometric tests to analyze the interests of students because generally, students are confused between their various interests but these psychometric tests help figure out students’ capabilities towards each of their interests.
