Every parent is concerned about their children and even more cautious when choosing or deciding on their career path. According to the government’s report , In India there are more than 260 million students Studying in schools but there are not as many career counselors as required.
The parents often rely on the advise of friends and family and keep their child career on toss without following any assessment of their personality or their interest and aptitude. This is where it goes wrong. Students and parents often follow the trend and ongoing pattern to decide on their career. This is a disastrous approach . They look what their cousins and friends are doing and they start copying to maintain the status quo in their circle or society .
In my view career counseling is a very specialized area and requires rigorous training before anyone embarks on advising students and parents for career choice. The career counseling must start as early as at the of 5 years by building a strong foundation In terms of reading, writing,speaking and building physical strength of the child. NTI ACADEMY (www.ntiacademy.in) has developed a 5 stage career counseling framework to help the career counselors , teachers and parents to follow proper method based counseling processes. NTI ACADEMY career counseling is breaking stereotypes and revolutionising the career counseling domain. If parents are not equipped to deal with the child’s career counseling strategy they should visit a career counselor and take their advice . This may help them to have clarity on their and in decision making. Hope this article was on best of your interest.
